Hanne Skjellerup (Denmark), "og i flammer" (2012). Unique sculpture.

A unique, highly expressive sculptural work by Danish artist Hanne Skjellerup, created in 2012. This piece serves as a masterful study of elemental forces and materiality, balancing on the boundary between organic sculpture and abstract art. In this object, the artist has masterfully juxtaposed two materials of contrasting character: the raw, pitch-black finish of modeled ceramic and the pulsating ruby-red of translucent resin, which comes spectacularly to life when illuminated. The complex, asymmetrical texture of the form—evoking charred matter or cooling lava—is combined with organic resin inclusions that mimic trapped, smoldering embers. This sculptural collision of earthiness and synthetic luminosity resonates perfectly with the handwritten inscription "og I flammer" (Danish for "and in flames") found on the base of the sculpture. Proper lighting draws dramatic depth from the translucent elements, lending the entire piece a mesmerizing, dynamic quality. It is an object of commanding presence that perfectly complements sophisticated collector interiors, aligning seamlessly with the aesthetics of "dark elegance, " Brutalism, and refined modernism.
