MIGHTY FINE CHINA

‘Lightscape painted bowl XL’ designed by Ruth Gurvich for Nymphenburg.

‘Lightscape painted vase Medium’ designed by Ruth Gurvich for Nymphenburg.

‘Lightscape painted tea pot’ designed by Ruth Gurvich for Nymphenburg (Germany).

The sculptural elegance of the set is matched by the poetry of the decoration and Gurvich’s East Asian landscapes, which again pick up the idea of brightness and the ephemeral. The mountain landscapes, the waves and the lines of the horizon come across like a reverie. The mountain tops seem to vanish in the distance. Gurvich’s precisely positioned but diluted brushstrokes create an illusion of depth and three-dimensionality. You could even arrange the individual objects of Lightscape so as to turn them into worlds of their own – landscapes of light, created in porcelain.
