White Matte Bottle Collection by Sara Paloma Pottery.

Have you ever seen anything more beautiful, more perfect, more sensual and inspired than those bottles by Sara Paloma?

Surely there must be words to express the sheer beauty that they are, but I have not found them and it is not for lack of trying you see, for my mind is of the kind that when presented with a challenge or problem to solve will not rest till it finds a solution. And so, because of the notion I have that since I am posting photographs of other artists’ works on this blog it is only fair for me to write a few nice things too, there I was trying to find something smart to say about those bottles. Angels (or spirits) of creativity were evoked then Picasso, I was on my way to ZEN, when I realized I was getting nowhere for there was nothing I would write really that would match the ultimate perfection of these bottles, and so I should just keep quiet…

For sometimes, that is the smart thing to do. Stay quiet. Just watch. And admire.

Best Before by Ricochet Studio.

I don’t drink milk anymore, but I love the beautiful simplicity of the shape of milk cartons emphasized here by the passage to white porcelain. The interiors are glazed for functional use. The three sizes (small, medium & large) are sold separately and range from $45.00 to $110.00.

Ricochet Studio is a very young company initiated by Vancouver artist Jeremy Hatch. It

focuses on collaborating with artists from various disciplines to realize limited edition ceramic objects.

You may want to check another of their creations : the porcelain Tooth Jar, a candy box sculpted by artist David Khang. It is available in three colors/lids : gold, silver & white. They will be produced in a Limited Edition of 50 pieces for each color with 2 artist proofs of each.


the white files


Third Skin paper by Eloise Ghioni.

I had been thinking about it for some time, I bought the domain name only recently and put the site online these last few days, but I have just posted my first article so I can officially declare “the white files” open.

I may love color a lot, the truth is I have also always loved white like crazy. Whenever I have to buy an object, if it exists in white chances are I will end up choosing that. And most of all I have come to realize while writing for “a thing of beauty…” that every time I came across beautiful white stuff, there was always always that little breathtaking moment…

So this will be some sort of experiment, a journey into white, and I do hope to live up to the project.

Third Skin paper by Eloise Ghioni.

The word “minimalist” is bound to be a great star on a blog focused on “white” so it is with no surprise that we welcome its appearance on our very first post : the art of Eloise Ghioni is minimalist. She calls it “conceptual minimalist” and she is the better judge of that but what comes to mind really is how extremely sensual it is. She works with white paper and produces reliefs on it. You will perhaps appreciate the sensuality of her work more with the postcards she also has on sale in her Etsy shop.

This is what she writes as an introduction :

My art is conceptual minimalist, and describes the experiences of life.
THIRD SKIN, is the title of my recent work, the paintings are made on two different media: wood and paper.
The engravings, represent the scars: indelible alterations of human life.
My paintings are totally white to better express the essence of the message.
Each painting is a fragment of myself.
