Ginger & Fred
Ginger & Fred is a striking sculptural work by Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos, composed of ornate faience pieces from the iconic Bordalo Pinheiro ceramic tradition, painted with vivid ceramic glaze. The work is further embellished with intricate handmade cotton crochet, seamlessly blending traditional Portuguese craft techniques into a bold contemporary statement. Presented in two parts, the piece pays homage to cultural heritage while playfully subverting it, reflecting Vasconcelos' signature approach of elevating domestic and feminine crafts to the realm of fine art.
