Philip Eglin
'Rosso'

Inspired by Italian maiolica jars and galvanised water cans, this vessel pushes the material and technical limitations that arise during the process of creation. The bold surface pattern is a reference to 18th-century English slipware and the works of Cy Twombly. Beginning with a structured template, the artist ultimately embraces intuition, evoking the exuberant triumph of hope.

After completing his studies in Ceramics, Philip Eglin gained renown for his earthenware female figures. His work has been part of group and solo exhibitions and is featured in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, Stedelijk Museum, and Houston’s Museum of Fine Arts.
