Master the lithophane technique for creating porcelain artworks which reveal the extraordinary relief effects when lit from behind.
Lithophanes are made of fine sheets of translucent white porcelain with a decorative motif etched in negative, usually views of famous cities, landscapes, historical events, indoor family scenes or children subject matters. When lit from behind, these sheets show the scene in positive, creating a three-dimensional effect.
Lithophanes were produced from about 1830 to about 1900, mostly in Germany, by the Royal Factory at Berlin and by Meissen. In England the main producers appear to have been Minton and Copeland and in Hungary the world famous Herend factory produced various lithpohanes.
Most lithophanes were plaques, ranging from miniatures to larger sizes that were framed and hung with the light (either natural or artificial) behind them; some examples were set in the bottom of beer tankards, where they could be seen when the vessel was emptied.
Ilona is one of the few artists making 3D lithophane objects.
The workshop language will be English, Latvian and Russian.
Ismerje meg a litofán technikát olyan porcelán tárgyak készítéséhez, amelyek hátulról megvilágítva feltárják a porcelán anyag rendkívüli fényáteresztő képességét.
A litofánok finom, áttetsző fehér porcelánlapokból készülnek, negatívba vésett díszítő motívummal, általában híres városok, tájképek, történelmi események, családi jelenetek vagy gyermek témájú beltéri jelenetek nézeteivel. Ha hátulról megvilágítják ezeket a lapokat, a jelenet pozitívban jelenik meg, háromdimenziós hatást keltve.
A litofánokat körülbelül 1830-tól 1900-ig gyártották, főként Németországban, a berlini Royal Factory-ban és Meissenben. Angliában a fő gyártók a Minton és a Copeland voltak, Magyarországon pedig a világhírű Herendi gyár gyártott különféle litofánokat.
A legtöbb litofán a miniatúráktól a nagyobb méretűekig terjedő plakett volt, amelyeket bekereteztek és (természetes vagy mesterséges) fénnyel megvilágítva felakasztottak; néhány példányt söröskorsók aljába helyeztek el, ahol az edény kiürítésekor láthatóvá váltak.
Ilona egyike azon kevés művészeknek, akik 3D-s litofán tárgyakat készítenek.
Ilona Romule is a studio artist from Riga, Latvia and has received international recognition with her slip cast porcelain figures examining the figure as a hollow vessel which through exquisite painting that is simultaneously two- & three-dimensional. Her human or animal figures are at the same time meticulously drawn on the sides of her pots meanwhile partially emerging from those pots as three-dimensional forms.
Ilona is known for her use of ironic and erotic imagery both in the form of her fine porcelain pieces and also in the surface decoration with the china paints. In ceramics Ilona is interested in the opportunity of three dimensional expression, using the scope of graphics and painting.
Ilona Romule stúdióművész a lettországi Rigából, nemzetközi elismerést kapott finom festésű, egyszerre két- és háromdimenziós porcelánfiguráiért. Emberi, illetve állatfigurái egyszerre vannak aprólékosan megrajzolva alkotásai oldalára, miközben részben háromdimenziós formaként emelkednek ki azokból.
Ilona arról ismert, hogy ironikus és erotikus képeket használ mind a finom porcelándarabok formájában, mind a porcelánfestékkel való felületi díszítésben. A kerámiában Ilonát a háromdimenziós kifejezés lehetőségei érdeklik, a grafika és a festészet eszközeit felhasználva.
