Punk Vase by Bordallo Pinheiro
The Punk collection is based on the design created by Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro for a large flower box, which is still on display today in the garden of the Caldas da Rainha Ceramics Museum. The geometric elements, dimensions and colors of this piece are reminiscent of the subversive aesthetic of the movement born in England in the 1970 s, which included pointy hairstyles, piercings, collars and metal spikes. These influences from the 20th century thus intersect with the irreverence of Raphael, an artist always ahead of his time, in three pieces that celebrate creativity and freedom of individual expression.
