This sculptural vase stands on a small circular foot, its swelling, torso-like volume rising into a folded rim. A deep, smoky metallic glaze – gunmetal and ash tones pooling across the surface – heightens its tactile, almost flesh-like presence.
The rounded belly and subtly suggested anatomy lend it a quiet erotic charge, while its compact stance keeps it grounded and architectural. Typical of Stojkov’s 1970s work, it carries a playful irreverence – a subtle nod to Brancusi’s purity of form and Bellmer’s corporeal distortion – rendered in heavier, earthier clay.
Both humorous and assured, it’s a succinct expression of Stojkov’s biomorphic modernism: part vessel, part body.
