Description:
This ceramic piece is a sculptural bowl by the Bahraini artist Mohsen Altaitoon from Bahrain. The work features an organic, hand-formed structure with a deep teal-green glazed exterior that opens to reveal a central spherical form resembling a seed. The inner sphere is highly textured, creating a strong visual contrast with the smooth outer surface. This interplay between rough and polished textures highlights the artist’s skill in hand-building techniques such as pinching and carving. The layered glazes add depth and richness, evoking marine or natural elements, while the central form symbolically suggests themes of origin, growth, and continuity—key ideas often reflected in Altaitoon’s artistic practice.
