Francesca DiMattio: Wedgwood
17 November–23 December
Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London
On her Instagram account, the American artist Francesca DiMattio recently wrote of ceramic art: ‘It is both historically revered, utilitarian and schlock found at yard sales. Nothing speaks to that duality more than Wedgwood.’ This show of new work sees her remixing motifs from 18th-century porcelain with the forms of ancient Greek vessels and everyday items (sneakers, handbags) within a maximalist installation.
