Giuseppe Ducrot
Giuseppe Ducrot’s style is instantly recognizable: while he works with ceramics with astonishing skill, his virtuosity is that of a sculptor.
Drawing on classical references, this artist—born in Rome in 1966 but of French ancestry—began to make a name for himself through very special commissions: he created a series of statues of saints and portraits of popes for Italian religious authorities… His frequent visits to churches led him to design altars, lecterns, and candelabra as well. His sculptures became functional without losing any of their lyrical quality. At the same time, he continued his exploration of movement.
Impressed by this entirely personal and unconventional work, Pierre Passebon encouraged him to venture even further into the world of interior design, commissioning him to create a bench, a table, a console table, and a mantelpiece—all in ceramic.
The work displays great stylistic power, and once again, the past blends seamlessly with the present.
According to the Parisian dealer, “Giuseppe Ducrot transcends two thousand years of art history and redefines the standards of beauty. He has a unique and fully developed style.”
Her decorative objects, coated in that striking yellow that has become her trademark, border on works of art. Never has a candleholder looked so stylish.
