Ten by Two by Hannah Dipper and Robin Farquhar
9th April 2015
Vessel Gallery is proud to present Ten by Two, an exhibition of artistic limited edition enamelware. Ten by Two marks 10 years of collaboration by Hannah Dipper and Robin Farquhar, the designers behind People Will Always Need Plates. Hannah and Robin are delighted to mark this important anniversary with a series of beautiful limited edition centre piece bowls.
Eschewing their usual medium of bone china, these vibrant vitreous enamel spun steel bowls not only allow a highly increased scale of work, but also showcase their love of pure form, flat colour and patterns of the built environment. Generously proportioned, these pools of colour are available in either concentric stacking vessels in darkening hues, or as decorated wall mounted/table top artworks with themes that have inspired the designers over the last decade. The latter, featuring patterns developed from the work of ‘high-tech’ architects and much admired ‘graphic’ artists.
All pieces shown will exhibit the exuberant use of colour and crisp graphic designs that will be familiar to fans of People Will Always Need Plates’ production home wares.
