About the series
Gérald Schmite draws freely from the iconographic repertoire of classical painting and sculpture, subverting its conventions in the process. Both heirs to ancient art and fiercely dissident, his ceramics combine heterogeneous aesthetics that challenge their distant models. This collision of references produces disconcerting juxtapositions where Hermès rubs shoulders with Louis XVI without hierarchy. Deep blues, acid greens, and vertiginous reds lend an audacious luster to his timeless earthenware. Each piece depicts a baroque world that exaggerates and overflows, where beauty constantly encounters strangeness and whimsy.
“Broken nose, severed ear, missing hand or arm: the life of an ancient sculpture is subjected to so many outrages… Now it is my turn to inflict one last affront upon them: that of toppling them once more. But Apollo, god of the arts and beauty, has already forgiven me.”
— Gérald Schmite
