Ceramic wall art
- • Bruce and Marcello's mutual passion to create spurred a partnership
- • The creative duo joined forces in 2009
- • Experimentation with clay is fundamental to them
Marcello De Simone was first introduced to clay during his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, and again through a workshop given by ceramicist Marjan de Voogd in Amsterdam. When Marcello and Bruce Wayland met in 2009, there was an instant click, a shared affinity with art and creating. Before long they were working together on their first collaboration, the Altered Perspectives series: an installation of plates in assorted shapes and sizes, which fuses decorative ceramic plates with works of art that share tonal similarities and subject matter, creating a dialogue between the two different media. A fortuitous encounter with ceramicist Pauline Wiertz, during an exhibition in the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, sparked the idea of creating their own moulds and cast ceramic plates.
