Name: Shapes of Desire - Mark Chatterley
SKU: 11825
Availability: InStock

This commanding, raku-fired earthenware vessel by Mark Chatterley stands as both sculpture and statement. Towering and tapering, its surface is hand-painted with gestural figures—raw, unapologetic, and emotionally present. Each side reveals a different facet of the female form, rendered in Chatterley’s signature fluid linework and earthy palette.

The surface bears the hallmarks of raku: crackled glaze, spontaneous variation, and tactile imperfection—elements that amplify the vessel’s intensity and sculptural integrity. Signed and dated by the artist on the base, this piece is both deeply personal and dramatically universal.

Chatterley’s work has been exhibited nationwide and is included in private and institutional collections. His approach bridges classical form and modern immediacy, offering a visceral counterpoint to mass-produced ceramics.
