There is something very alluring about being told an exhibition is in town for “one night only”. The exclusivity of such an event is all immediate drawcard. So make a make right now for One Night Only, an exhibition showcasing the ceramic work of Lucinda Mudge at Salon 91 in Cape Town on 30 November 2010.
Mudge’s collection comprises gorgeously crafted and original picture tiles and interestingly unusual platters. Drawing on decorative arts and various historical art sources as inspiration, the works are covered with line drawings and script inspired by the daily press. The work also incorporates Mudge’s sharp observations of the world around her.
By combining the old and the new in a way that ensures the timelessness of the appearance of the ceramics, Mudge pays homage to the Staffordshire slipware potters of the 17th century. The surfaces of her designs are richly textured with designs marked into the clay. This is followed by honey glazing that traditionally accompanies slip work.
P.S If you do happen to miss the exhibition on the evening, head down to Salon 91 the next day, before the exhibition comes down at 3pm.
