Gwaith Cerameg

Jack Durling is a Brighton-based artist who is inspired by the phenomena of the natural world, creating bespoke ceramic sculptures that are celebratory of animal species.

Focusing on natural behaviour and animal congregation, his work is notable for decorative embellishment. Lustres and porcelain details upon ceramic forms are used to create a visual language that subtly highlights environmental and conservation messages.

His work is hand built using a variety of methods and informed through illustration. Textural contrasts have evolved as a recognisable feature in Jack’s work.

Having spent a lot of time in Dungeness as a child, known for its very wild scenery and textures, Jack developed his interest in wildlife, and often donates a percentage of his sales to animal welfare charities.

Artist sydd wedi ymsefydlu yn Brighton yw Jack Durling. Caiff ei ysbrydoli gan ffenomen byd natur, gan greu cerfluniau cerameg ar archeb sy’n dathlu rhywogaethau anifeiliaid.

Gan ganolbwyntio ar ymddygiad naturiol ac ymgynnull anifeiliaid, mae ei waith yn nodedig am ei harddu addurnol. Caiff gloyweddau a manylion porslen eu defnyddio ar ffurfiau cerameg er mwyn creu iaith weledol sy’n amlygu negeseuon amgylcheddol a chadwraethol yn gynnil.

Caiff ei waith ei adeiladu â llaw gan ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o ddulliau a’u llywio drwy ddarluniau. Mae cyferbyniadau gweadeddol wedi esblygu fel nodwedd hawdd i’w adnabod yng ngwaith Jack.

Ac yntau, fel plentyn wedi treulio llawer o amser yn Dungeness, sy’n enwog am ei olygfeydd a’u gweadeddau gwirioneddol wyllt, datblygodd Jack ddiddordeb mewn bywyd gwyllt, ac yn aml mae’n cyfrannu cyfran o’i werthiannau i elusennau er lles anifeiliaid.
