The RANIDAE series
The RANIDAE («Frog») series of objects was created and produced by Petrovs Alexey and Ekaterina (GARÇON ET POISSON brand) and Anastasia Dulenko (CERAMUM). It consists of a «Non-flying Saucer» dish, a NeMO Red lamp and a Totem vase for dried flowers (object) created from solid wood and ceramics. All objects are functional and at the same time perceived as art objects. CA: people 35+, average income and above, interested in art and appreciating Russian culture. The series was created in 2023-24.
The series explores the possibilities of combining wood and ceramics within a single object. The artistic idea is to give ceramic «touches» of glazed ceramics to several laconic objects made of solid wood. In this way, well-processed and clear hermetic shapes and «legs» are connected. They are decorated with pimples (resembling frog skin) and painted in local red and blue colors typical of Russian culture.
