Bouke de Vries is a very famous
ceramic artist and is well known for creating unique and contemporary installations.
This particular installation is currently being held on Holburne’s Ballroom
table. This piece is inspired by the 18th century fashion for
decorating banqueting tables. “War &
Pieces” shows the tradition of grand banquets and balls held on the eve of
battle.
It looks like an atomic bomb of
cloud has just exploded onto the table with the shards of white ceramics around
the table. This piece incorporates Sir William Holburne’s Chinese tobacco leaf
pattern dinner service. The story unfolds of how a battle will be fought out
along the table with figures made from this Derby porcelain.
