Apostle & Muse (2022) by Rutger de Regt transforms a table lamp into a sculptural statement. Crafted from ceramics with a rich green glaze, the lamp showcases De Regt’s signature textured surfaces, shaped by the imprint of his fingers, lending it a raw, organic presence.
Apostle & Muse, green (2022) by Rutger de Regt combines the sculptural and functional, presenting a table lamp that transcends utility to become a deeply personal statement. Crafted from ceramics with a rich green glaze, the piece retains the signature textural quality of De Regt’s work, shaped by the imprint of his fingers. This tactile surface gives the lamp an organic and raw presence, imbuing it with intimacy and sensuality.
The abstract yet vaguely figurative forms suggest intertwined bodies, evoking questions of connection: do they support each other, or do they grapple in tension? This duality of harmony and struggle recalls the emotional depth of Thomas Schütte’s sculptures, while the raw immediacy of the surface echoes Antony Gormley’s focus on physicality and human touch.
At 75 cm tall, Apostle & Muse, green reimagines the table lamp as both a functional object and a work of art. The interplay of light and texture heightens the piece’s evocative quality, transforming a utilitarian item into a narrative-driven exploration of intimacy, tension, and the human experience. De Regt (b. 1980) once again bridges the boundary between design and fine art, creating a sculptural lamp that invites both reflection and illumination.
