Karen Bennicke – Sculptural Cubist Stoneware Vase
Karen Bennicke (b. 1943)
Sculptural vase by Danish ceramic artist Karen Bennicke, executed in stoneware with a handle and a boldly angular, Cubist-inspired body.
The piece is constructed from faceted geometric planes that form an elegant, almost architectural composition. Viewed from different angles, the vase shifts between abstraction and a more figurative, subtly feminine presence, with stylized feminine features suggested through its slender silhouette and the refined arrangement of forms in the upper section.
The many surfaces are decorated with matte glazes in shades of sky blue, cobalt blue, turquoise, lavender, cream, pink, and black. These contrasting color fields emphasize the faceted structure while adding depth, rhythm, and visual movement to the composition.
A striking example of Karen Bennicke’s sculptural approach to ceramics, where function, form, and artistic expression merge into a cohesive and highly individual work.
Signed K.B. Denmark to the base.
Denmark, 1980s or later.
