Arran Ross's "Buddhanaut - Premium Lilac - Wasabi - Sabi Series" presents a captivating fusion of spiritual iconography and contemporary aesthetics. This 15 cm ceramic sculpture depicts a seated Buddha figure glazed in striking lilac blue tones dramatically intersected by flowing streams of brilliant gold. The artist's technique creates a compelling visual tension between the serene, meditative pose of the figure and the dynamic, almost cosmic quality of the metallic glaze that appears to cascade over the form. Ross masterfully plays with the traditional Buddhist representation, transforming it through his distinctive glazing approach that suggests both reverence for tradition and a bold reimagining of spiritual imagery.
The Contemporary Sacred
Standing at a modest height of 15 cm, this piece from Ross's Sabi Series commands attention far beyond its physical dimensions. The contrasting elements of the composition—tranquil blue against vibrant gold—create a visual dialogue between stillness and movement, ancient and modern. When displayed, the sculpture becomes a focal point that shifts subtly as light plays across its metallic surfaces, bringing a contemplative yet dynamic presence to any space. The work reflects contemporary ceramic art's ability to bridge cultural traditions and modern artistic expression, inviting viewers to consider how spiritual motifs can be reinterpreted through a contemporary lens whilst maintaining their essential meditative quality.
