Wall Plate Redmer Hoekstra - Whale - Ceramic - 31 cm

Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of illustrator Redmer Hoekstra. For Heinen Delfts Blauw, the humorous and philosophical artist has created a special series of wall plates, including this advancing whale that has squeezed its tail fin into a teapot in order to make its way over land. The wall plates are instantly recognizable by their daydreamy illustrations. A colorful collection of surreal animals that come marching, swimming or rolling into the Delft blue world of Heinen Delfts Blauw. The whale is covered in pockmarks that also function as porcelain saucers, and on its head balances the lid of the teapot. The giant sea creature might be on his way to a high tea with his good friends the pelican and the group of strange birds who have borrowed a nautilus' shell to go to the party. Or maybe you see an entirely different story in it. The physical discomfort of the whale clearly not fitting into the teapot is a recurring theme within Redmer zjin work, it is a source of his humor. For Redmer, the biggest challenge was to bring his alienating world together with the world of Heinen Delfts Blauw. “I used Delft blue elements from Heinen's collection as a starting point for the illustrations and built my world around them. A world in which all the protagonists live. That way they shine on their own, but they also go well together.” Choose one wall plate to stand out on your wall, or combine the entire collection together for a humorous wall on which you will constantly discover new, funny details.
