  • More about Bas-Reliefs

Ronan Bouroullecs ceramic bas-reliefs are a new language that asks for a new language altogether. They are alive, masses of ceramic breathing in a metal atmosphere, on a planet that is strange but inviting. They have a grammar, forms repeat, and the palette is consistent. They are sequences of fixed parts, subject to randomness, and have something to do with figure and ground. They are a re-discovery of Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist project, which believed that he had discovered the grammar of this non-objective world.

Ronan Bouroullecs ceramic bas-reliefs offer a glimpse into a language we recognize, with silhouettes of familiar objects and contours of known landscapes. However, they are not quite right as tableaux, with edges that go too far, circles that are off-center, and pinkish masses that could topple over. Bouroullecs work is most rewarding if we listen as it asks for a new language altogether. Languages have always been born from clay, and Bouroullec is developing his own. The compositions can speak because they are alive, masses of ceramic breathing in a metal atmosphere on a planet that is strange but inviting. Bouroullecs process is also inherently syntactical, with forms repeating and the palette consistent, like a dialect. Where there are slight variations, the works prove the rule. Some compositions get repeated and flipped upside down. Bouroullecs assembles the reliefs only after the individual elements are fired, some of which are fired multiple times.
