Peter Lenzo 17" "My Brain Is" Narrative Head Vessel DP6075

A complex and fully developed sculptural vessel by Peter Lenzo, this 17-inch work demonstrates Lenzo’s distinctive ability to merge figuration, narrative, and material exploration into a single cohesive form. The elongated head serves as both structural base and psychological anchor, with expressive features and layered glaze application suggesting tension, introspection, and lived experience. Rising from the head, an intricate assemblage unfolds—densely populated with miniature figures, animals, fragments, and found-object references. These elements are carefully composed rather than chaotic, forming a contained yet expansive narrative environment. Wire inclusions, varied glaze surfaces, and sculptural attachments create shifts in texture and tone, encouraging sustained, close viewing.

The work operates as both vessel and sculpture, extending the historical face jug tradition into a contemporary, narrative-driven context. Signed and dated, this piece represents a mature example of Lenzo’s practice and is well-suited for collectors focused on psychologically charged, materially sophisticated ceramic sculpture.

Measures 17" tall and about 9" wide.
