  • Beschreibung: The pottery is particularly inspired by prehistoric Mexican terracotta, Danish Bronze Age stoneware and German Bartmann pottery from the 16th and 17th centuries. Common to these jars were their characteristic facial features, which also gave them the name "face urns".0In certain regions, jars such as these were occasionally used in occult rituals, as they were believed to contain spiritual and magical powers. By applying and adapting stylistic expressions from these traditions to his own vases, Raben Davidsen connects the association to the ghostly and spiritual with a modern mystique.0In addition to the ceramics, Raben Davidsen also exhibits new paintings, drawings, graphics and an animated film. Here the motif world is populated by human figures, animals and plants. From the suggestive and earth-colored imagery, human faces and bodies are glimpsed.0With the title 'Totem', Raben Davidsen refers to the spiritual and mythological traditions that have existed for millennia among indigenous peoples, who have always perceived the connection between culture, nature and the cosmos as holistic. By re-examining the qualities of these rituals, Cathrine Raben Davidsen questions how we can reconsider their value and significance.00Exhibition: Royal Copenhagen factory, Glostrup, Sweden (08.02.-31.03.2019)
