For the central theme of Simonsson’s exhibition at Alzueta Gallery, the artist has opted to employ traditional ceramic techniques and glazes in creating his pieces. He has ingeniously melded his figures with a modernist rectangular shape – a ceramic pedestal. Across all the works, he has applied three distinct greenish glazes. Simonsson’s figures don Savoy cabbage cloths and are accompanied by a golden snail. The pedestals have been adorned with painterly glazes.
Simonsson’s new works serve as memorials to enigmatic figures from either the distant past or the potential future who undertook significant actions for society. The nature of their contributions remains veiled, speculation is all we have.
The girl, depicted leaning against the pedestal, draws inspiration from the film «Holy Mountain,» directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky. In this movie, an enigmatic holy man possesses a flower that sprouts from his hand.
