Heinen Delft Blue Wall Plate Redmer Hoekstra - Whale - Ceramic - 31 cm

Description

Be transported to the wondrous world of illustrator Redmer Hoekstra. For Heinen Delfts Blauw, the humorous and philosophical artist has created a unique series of wall plates, including this advancing whale, its fluke pressed into a teapot to navigate the land. The wall plates are instantly recognizable by their daydreamy illustrations. A colorful collection of surreal creatures march, swim, or roll into the Delftware world of Heinen Delfts Blauw. The whale is covered in pockmarks that double as porcelain saucers, and the teapot lid balances on its head. The giant sea creature is likely on its way to a high tea with its good friends, the pelican, and the group of strange birds who have borrowed a nautilus shell for the party. Or perhaps you see a completely different story. The physical discomfort of the whale, which clearly doesn't fit in the pot, is a recurring theme in Redmer's work; it's a source of his humor. For Redmer, the biggest challenge was to merge his alienating world with the world of Heinen Delft Blue. "I used Delft Blue elements from the Heinen collection as a starting point for the illustrations and built my world around them. A world in which all the main characters live. They shine on their own, but they also work well together." Choose one wall plate to make it stand out on your wall, or combine the entire collection for a humorous wall where you'll constantly discover new, quirky details.
