Calder Mobile Tribute

Balancing color, form, and motion in perfect harmony: A vibrant homage to Alexander Calder’s iconic mobiles, this piece captures the spirit of dynamic equilibrium—where color and shape interact in a state of playful suspension. Bold black lines create a structural framework, while striking reds, blues, and yellows orbit within, evoking the weightless, floating elements of Calder’s kinetic sculptures. Angular intersections and rhythmic patterns generate a sense of movement, as though the composition might shift and sway with the slightest breeze.

The sculptural form itself reinforces this balance—its subtly shifting planes suggesting an interplay between stability and fluidity, much like Calder’s mobiles transformed static art into something alive. This work pays tribute to that same spirit, translating the principles of mid-century abstraction into ceramic form.

Hand-painted by the artist, this piece bears the JeanElton signature on its underside and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), both of which display its unique serial number.
