Here are some recent sgraffito tiles. I try and I try but I never get photos of sgraffito tiles that do them justice. But I think you can get the idea of what they look like.
For info on the technique, look here. You’ll get the whole story on how to do this kind of work.
Oh I do like these. I think the movement and dynamism is accentuated by the monochrome of sgraffito.
Thank you. I love doing them, the process is very intuitive and free. And then I think the result is unlike anything else I do, very mysterious and dark.
Full of magic and stories.
Yes, somehow these come out very dark and fairy tale like, I think. I like that.
I love the snapshot sense of movement in each of these.
Thank you. I think the technique by which they are made facilitates that – you have to work fluidly and with no hesitation.
I love primitive looking art like this!
I may have said this before but if I did then that just means that I really mean it. These really remind my of ancient Egyptian claywork. Not only the color but the imagery. Very nice. XO
Thank you. I really like doing these, they are very free and expressive with little planning (and sometimes the oops, the tool slipped, kind of inspiration that sends you in a new directions…).
Great contrast and love the primitive imagery!
Thank you. I always liked ancient Greek pottery Black and orange, I mean, and this kind of reminds me of it. I will keep working on this technique, I think it has a lot to offer.
Wow, the first one is superb. Like some ancient Etruscan art. See that hair flying!
Thank you, I love doing them, and I love the results. I studied the Estruscans, Cretans, and so in college about one million years ago and I think the images have never left me. I especially love the color combination in these tiles, so dramatic.
