Lenoble translates his fascination for Chinese porcelain into this sleek and modern masterpiece featuring intricately incised geometric patterns at the base and the neck of the vessel set against solid bands of glazed or unglazed stoneware. Lenoble plays with style and abstract form using Chinese spinach jade porcelain as a point of departure. His thickly applied jade-esque black and green glaze hovers in voluptuous suspension at the base of the vase. Lenoble’s achievement is a triumph in avant-garde stoneware as it reveals its subject to be the aesthetic of process itself.
