Description
Adriano Leverone (1953–2022)
Sculpture
Smoked stoneware
H49 W59 D58 cm
This smoked stoneware sculpture by Adriano Leverone is a work of remarkable earthy power. The technique of smoked ceramics — firing the piece buried in organic matter, which leaves random black and grey marks on the surface — produces surfaces with a depth and chromatic richness comparable to the finest examples of Japanese Raku ceramics. The passing of Adriano Leverone in 2022 means his pieces are now definitively rare, enhancing their collectible value. A heritage acquisition for any discerning collector of contemporary art ceramics.
Adriano Leverone (1953–2022)
An Italian ceramicist, Adriano Leverone developed a wide-ranging sculptural body of work, based on a technical mastery of pit firing and random surface effects. His large-scale smoked ceramic sculptures are part of the tradition of contemporary Italian ceramic art, combining formal rigour with constant technical innovation. His passing in 2022 cemented his status as a leading figure in international ceramic art.
