Apostle & Muse, green - Rutger de Regt

*Apostle & Muse, green* (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. The abstract, vaguely figurative forms evoke intertwined bodies, exploring themes of connection and tension—whether they support each other or grapple in struggle. At 75 cm tall, the lamp reimagines utility, with light and texture creating a narrative-driven exploration of intimacy and human experience. De Regt (b. 1980) bridges design and fine art, offering a piece that is as reflective as it is functional.
