Unglazed ceramic, hand-crafted and hand-decorated - Unknown edition size - Not signed or numbered // Grayson Perry’s Forest Spirit Alan Planter is a playful and whimsical ceramic object that blurs the lines between functional art and sculpture. Handcrafted and hand-decorated, this unglazed ceramic planter is designed in the form of a stylized, anthropomorphic figure. The figure features bold black and white patterns that evoke a sense of tribal or mythical symbolism, with exaggerated facial features and a small figure cradled in its hands. The planter's top is open, designed to hold a plant, creating a dynamic interaction between nature and art as the plant appears to sprout from the figure's head. The piece is both charming and humorous, embodying Perry’s ability to infuse everyday objects with deeper cultural and artistic meaning. Though unsigned and unnumbered, this work reflects Perry’s distinctive approach to combining craft with social commentary.
