Everard Read Johannesburg | Lucinda Mudge x Frederic Malle

RMB Latitudes proposes a bespoke activation with 5 fragrances and 5 sculptural artworks by exciting South Africa artist, Luncinda Mudge. Presented in collaboration with Frederic Malle and Everard Read Gallery, the ceramic work of Luncinda Mudge will be exhibited alongside five fragrances at RMB Latitudes 2024.

Lucinda Mudge is a contemporary South African artist working primarily in the medium of ceramics. Mudge's extraordinary vases captivate the eye with their rich colours and intricate details. Yet beneath thier glimmering surfaces is a familiar world simmerin with paranoia and tension. Both a visual and a socio political record, her collection of vases draws inspiration from a wide variety of references , inculding cartoons, pop songs, fabric designs and Art Deco vase patterns, resulting in whimsical collisions of the popular and refined, the mundane and elevated, the violent and the beautiful.

This range of contemporary and historical sources merges to presentr a complex narrative familiar to manyt South Africans. Using handmixed glazed and stains, and producted painstakingly slowly over the period of a full year, each piece is as unique as the narrative it tells.

This show runs from 23 - 26 May .
