Uruk Sculpture by Lea Munsch

Uruk Sculpture by Lea Munsch Signed and numbered on /30 Dimensions: W 26 x D 16 x H 45 cm Materials: Stoneware Each piece is unique with its own personality and marks. Léa Munsch explores its potentiality with an approach led by instinct and curiosity. She draws from nature to produce primarily unglazed pieces that reveal the inherent qualities of texture and color of their materials. From her studio, an ever- evolving cast of ageless forms emerges, sculptures born at the crossroads where art and architecture meet. The primordial link between Earth and clay infuses her practice. An ancient and instinctive bond that we can sense the presence in her work. She is interested in the cultures imagined by ancient civilizations long before the 0 of our era and prehistoric art for the strength of the link between art, life and nature. Like an archeological work, blurring the lines of time, her sculptures seem to come from an ancient future. Her practice also relies a lot onto instinct to give shape to an abstract, architectural, raw, textured and natural world. Léa Munsch lives and works in Lorraine, in eastern France, where she's taken over a space in a former factory perched on a river at the heart of a forest.
