Paesaggi Italiani
Ilaria Gatti ceramic art at GelatoLove Carlsbad Village Store.
‘Paesaggi Italiani’ are concentric Italian landscapes on ceramic vases created by the Rome based architect and ceramist Ilaria Gatti. They are now part of a pop-up exhibit of 15 pieces, divided in 3 Landscape Series, at our Carlsbad Village Store. Ilaria Gatti’s ceramics are unique art objects, entirely handmade according to the ancient techniques of the Italian Pottery Tradition. Compared to the geological formation of Italian maiolica clay (sea floor moved by quakes into Dolomiti mountains, eroded by wind and rain, melted in fresh waters), the Paesaggi portrayed by Ilaria narrate a short story: 2.500 years of interaction between nature and human activities.
