Nonna Lorenz Luxury Pets

Nonna Lorenz returns once again to the memories of her childhood, the historical legacy of porcelain, and the beauty and uniqueness of the animal kingdom. This work tells a story of childhood dreams, innocent fascination and a deep love for animals – sometimes unusual and even dangerous. These fantasies are often far removed from reality. White porcelain combined with overglaze painting brings each sculpture to life in the spirit of the finest 19th century porcelain manufactories. The popularity of depicting animals – creatures that most people of the time could never encounter in real life and knew only through their porcelain representations – reveals the human imagination, stereotypes, and fantasies associated with these beings.
