HYBRIDS CHUBBY

This vase is from the HYBRIDS series by Tal Batit. HYBRIDS deals with contrasts and the unusual combination of the two materials. It is a series of vases that combines two different worlds and cultures: ancient cultures, with an emphasis on functionality and intuition, and our present ‘instant’ culture, full of new and emerging technologies. The pieces convey the juxtaposition between ancient shapes and computer-generated shapes; between textures – matte and shiny, rough and smooth; between colors – the natural red clay colour, with the bright saturated colors coating the white clay; between seriousness and playfulness. The HYBRIDS project was awarded with the prize of ‘Holon Design Museum Selection 2018’.
