Suzanne Kane Hand-Sculpted Ceramic Sculpture – Pear Motif

Hand-sculpted and hand-painted ceramic sculpture by Suzanne Kane, signed by the artist. This imaginative work features a triangular, textured body with layered circular motifs in cool grey and lavender hues, supported on dynamic, wave-like legs. The cresting top edge adds a sense of organic movement, while the central alcove houses a suspended pear form in rich ochre tones, offering striking contrast and visual depth. Finished with a felt bottom, this work exemplifies Kane’s unique approach to sculptural design, merging natural inspiration with surreal abstraction.
