The theme of her works often revolves around the tension between naturalness and artificiality. Born in 1963, Ceppi completed her education at art schools in Switzerland and Paris as well as during a studio residency in Philadelphia. Throughout her career, she has been inspired by everyday life. For her works, she uses a wide variety of materials, such as soap, bronze, aluminum, plastic, and natural products, as well as countless found objects and components gathered from households, trade, and industry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ceppi's small \u003ci\u003eobjets cultes\u003c\/i\u003e form a common thread running through her entire oeuvre of more than three decades. Found objects are stripped of their functional and meaningful context and transformed into new works with an autonomous sculptural presence in astonishing combinations. Especially in her recent monumental \"Hybrid Shapes,\" that transformation and merging come to an unprecedented effect. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This first-ever monograph on Maria Ceppi brings together her multilayered and heterogeneous oeuvre and offers an insight into the artist's experimental method.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mirjam Fischer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3039422863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783039422869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scheidegger and Spiess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Mirjam Fischer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742986350847,"sku":"9783039422869","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maria-ceppi-mirjam-fischer-9783039422869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
