Storm Philippa Clarén - Ribbed for her pleasure - Ceramic sculpture

Artist: Storm Philippa Clarén

The scultpure is named after the text found on packages of ribbed condoms, this piece embodies playful provocation. The Devil character draws inspiration from both Him (the flamboyant villain in The Powerpuff Girls) and Trinity The Tuck’s interpretation of Satan/Lucifer on RuPaul’s Drag Race. The horns serve as a dual reference: they echo the whimsical jester’s cap while also recalling the elongated ears of a rabbit.

Storm Philippa Clarén is an artisan and curator born and raised in Kristianstad.

Storm has a bachelor's degree from Konstfack and has, among other things, curated and participated in a number of exhibitions, including collaboration with Åhlens City MMF AB, Regionmuseet Kristianstad, Sthlm Craft Week and Galleri Redan.

The core of her art is color, patterns and shiny surfaces. Storm is a magpie that is drawn to everything that glitters, whether it is silk fabrics or a glazed porcelain clay. Her expression is naive and she wants to replace the Scandinavian interior design ideal "bright and fresh" with "crazy and motley".
