Xenia Taler Nude Tiles

Under the capable hands of this Toronto native, ceramic tiles become bona fide art. Xenia Taler and her partner Steven Koblinsky craft square and circular tiles out of clay, mix vibrant glazes from scratch, and hand-paint each one with a simple yet gorgeous image — from birds and nudes to graphic dots and stripes.
This modern nude tile is reminiscent of earlier masterworks. A sketched line drawing with the crackle back drop, simple and beautiful. This tile can be displayed anywhere, pair it with another or let it stand alone. Either way it is sure to get noticed.
Every tile is entirely hand painted. Because each tile is individually handmade, appearance, variations in shade and color are inherent. Each comes equipped for wall hanging and has cork on the bottom so they can double as trivets. Comes with an artist’s biography, adding to its unique quality if giving this tile as a gift. see the rest of Xenia Taler's collection. This tile is a limited edition, once our stock is gone it will be no longer available. Handmade in Canada. Shop Xenia Taler Nudes on Arthousegifts.com .
