Joanna Hair (1955) Raku glazed ceramic frog

Joanna Hair (Born in 1955) Glazed Raku stoneware frog. Green and yellow colour. Signed underneath. Height: 5cm. Diameter: 8.5cm (approximately) Very good condition. *Of British origin, Joanna Hair has lived and sculpted in France for a long time, and it is from here that she has built her international reputation with a series of resounding successes in exhibitions across Europe. A strong woman in every sense of the word, Joanna tackles the hot manipulation of immense animal sculptures in raku that will frankly scare many men. Her repertoire is considerable and impresses with the way she invents virtuoso representations of fur, plumage, or hair for each animal or bird. The raku, offering so many possibilities for glazes of all shades and patinas, suits her well, providing surfaces of extreme allure that highlight the vigour and vitality of her modelling.
