Lívia Gorka PLATE _ 1456

This oval plate by Lívia Gorka (1925-2011) presents a more dynamic interpretation of her bird motif.
Set against a turquoise ground, the bird appears in white and graphite tones, defined by loose, gestural brushstrokes. The application is fluid and energetic, giving the form a sense of movement and immediacy. The slightly abstract rendering aligns with Gorka’s tendency to reduce natural forms to their essence.
The oval shape enhances the directional flow of the composition, allowing the motif to stretch and unfold across the surface.
Rooted in Gorka’s sculptural ceramic language, this piece balances material weight with painterly freedom.
