The dishes are beating for good luck. And if it does not beat, but melts? This question can be posed to artist Livia Marin, who has created an entire collection of melted cookware. Moreover, the porcelain puddles are decorated with colorful patterns, which emphasizes the unusualness of the exhibits.
The collection contains a variety of vases, teapots, sugar bowls, cups and much more. The main color of porcelain is white. The total number of exhibits is 32, most of which were presented at the Eagle Gallery in London in 2012. Since then, "molten porcelain" has been a frequent guest at all kinds of art shows and on the pages of art lovers' blogs.
Livia Marin herself admits that since childhood she wanted to change the natural order of things: so that liquid does not flow, dishes spread, feathers are heavier, and stones weighed like cotton wool. Of course, it is impossible for a simple child to do this. But for an adult creative personality - quite.
Here unrestrained imagination and technical progress come to the rescue. And porcelain puddles are a prime example of this. Porcelain sculptures look no less impressive. By the way, one of our past reviews shows a step-by-step master class by the sculptor Johnson Tsang on creating a fabulous animal.

Surreal molten mirrors in the Mizukagami installation
The symbol of the "constancy of memory" is the flowing down, seemingly "melted" clock. The surrealist Salvador Dali created this unique image, anticipating, to a certain extent, the desire of artists in the future to conquer the nature of things, to force them to take forms and states unusual for them. An example of this discrepancy is the installation "Water Mirror" (Mizukagami), created by Japanese designers Rikako Nagashima and Hideto Hyoudou

Many newly minted artists and sculptors work according to this principle. The sculptures from the Duramen series, created by members of the French art studio Bonsoir Paris, can be considered a challenge announced to all such creators
Portraits and other paintings from molten and rolled plasticine. Creativity of the Mondongo art group
I can confidently assume that working with plasticine, forming from it people and animals, plants and fruits, buildings and cars, had, if not everyone, then every second person, and if not in kindergarten, then in the lower grades. However, I have never seen a grown-up treat him as a serious material for creativity. Although the artists Juliana Laffitte, Manuel Mendanha and Agustina Picasso, part
Broken and melted porcelain. Broken Things by Livia Marin
What do people usually do with broken dishes? Of course, they throw it away: do not store it on the shelves, from time to time crying over the untimely departed grandmother's cup or the service presented for a wedding, housewarming or for another, no less solemn occasion. There is probably only one person who, nevertheless, prefers not to part with the pieces dear to his heart. This is the Chilean artist Livia Marin, who created an absolutely stunning art project using
What is the world famous for the porcelain empire of the Kuznetsov family: Dulevo porcelain
Only about a century and a half ago, the flourishing of porcelain production of white clay products of the highest quality began in Russia. They were valued very highly and were considered a sign of good taste and wealth of the owners. And this miracle was produced by the factories of the "porcelain king" Matvey Kuznetsov, who created an entire "porcelain empire" in the Moscow region.
