Neutral Blue by Iara Talledo Violani

One of a kind, fluid ceramic sculpture by London based Brazilian artist Iara Talledo Violani.

Created in 2024, Talledo Violani wanted to explore a collaged piece that only focused on one colour. Neutral Blue is the result of that journey. Using different textures and shades of blue, this focused and more subtle piece is a great addition to complement a beautifully furnished room, adding a contemporary twist but without being the focus of attention.

Each piece is made by hand, and with the artist prioritising unpredictability in the process, each one is an exclusive one-off piece.

An ideal gift for those who stay away from the conventional or for contemporary design and art collectors.

Iara Talledo Violani (b. 1999) specialised in wheel-thrown ceramics during her time on the University of Brighton's BA (Hons) 3D Design and Craft course where she graduated in 2023.

Her current work is inspired by the unpredictability of the SESC Pompeia building in São Paulo and the hyperpop music genre. By using a chaotic and unpredictable approach to ceramics to create something unique, Iara challenges her natural gravitation towards perfection and perfectionism. After creating individual elements on the potter’s wheel, she rejects the customary gentleness with which people treat soft, newly thrown pieces and collides them to create colourful collages.
Alongside special effects glazes which look vastly different before and after firing, this method creates unique clusters of shapes where she cannot predict how the clay will collapse and deform into each other upon contact. By removing expectation, she has avoided falling into the vicious cycle of seeking perfection – something unattainable – and relaxed into working more intuitively.
