GONÇALO VIANA | 10 SPRINGS FOR NEW BORDALLO PINHEIRO CERAMIC SARDINE FOR VISTA ALEGRE
August 19, 2024 Gonçalo Viana
Each year Bordallo Pinheiro invites artists to reinterpret Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro’s iconic ceramic sardine, originally created in the XIX century. This year marks the 10th anniversary of this project, and #lcmartist Gonçalo Viana was invited to create a sardine celebrating this milestone. To Gonçalo, these ceramic sardines are like winter flowers, providing color even when the world outside greys out during the colder months. He called this piece ’10 Springs’, and decorated the sardine with 10 flowers, one for each of the project’s 10 years. You can find this sardine at the Bordallo Pinheiro website or Vista Alegre store.
