INTRODUCTION

“I’ve created those little bottles as many characters, trying to give to each of them its own personality. They are all unique. The decoration evoking the way those characters could be dressed while the shape I gave them provide them with mankind. It’s up to you now to adopt them, to free your imagination and to invent their own story, the best way to make them your own!”

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Eric Hibelot is a French ceramicist who works with white porcelain sheets. He draws inspiration from everyday objects such as jerry cans, oil canisters, and milk cartons, taking their iconic form into the fine art realm.

His shapes have soft edges that satisfyingly sit in the hand, and his vases and cups have gently “rounded bottoms” reminiscent of Culbuto toys. Hibelot’s crisp white porcelain forms are stained with swathes of primary colours, and simple, distinctive patterns drawn from elementary textile designs.
