High-Temperature Glaze Ceramic Painting –Begonia (Original 1/1)

Xianyue Lee

$2,400.00

The inspiration for this piece came from a quiet afternoon spent alone with a potted begonia. Xianyue Lee depicts it sitting silently on the floor; up close, one sees only chaotic textures and intricate crackles—like traces left by time or the blurring of memories repeatedly wiped.

Yet, as you take a few steps back and look through that "mist," the silhouette of the begonia emerges. Lee reflects: “Beauty sometimes requires distance to be truly seen.” The most moving element is the streak of blue—traveling from the leaves, down the pot, and flowing onto the floor. It is as if this normally silent indoor plant released its long-accumulated soul in a single moment. Who says still life has no life? Its vitality lies not in an outward pose, but in the fluid movement of color. This is an invitation to the act of "viewing": to walk closer, then further away; to see the texture, and eventually, the soul.

This is a unique, one-of-a-kind original. Once sold, it will not be restocked.

Craftsmanship:

The Alchemy of Fire: Fired at 1300°C, this piece is created solely through the natural transformation of mineral glazes.
Pure Expression: Unlike traditional ceramics, Lee uses no additional pigments or painting layers. The entire scene emerges from the artist’s mastery of Yaobian (kiln transformation) a delicate balance between human control and the soul of the fire.

Key Features & Originality:

This is not a print or mass-produced craft, but a 1/1 original co-created by fire and glaze.
Under extreme heat, the minerals flow and crystallize into intricate textures that are impossible to replicate or imitate.
You possess a unique existence born from the kiln—an artwork that will never appear exactly the same way again in this world.
Signed by the artist.

Installation:
Due to the weight of the ceramic panel, this piece should be leaned against a wall or hung using professional picture rails or heavy-duty hooks. Adhesive strips or "no-drill" stickers are not recommended.
