About this artwork
Created in 2024, Strawberry is a handcrafted ceramic mosaic by Michael Henry that transforms an everyday fruit into a vibrant celebration of colour, texture and form. Individually cut ceramic tesserae are carefully arranged within a ceramic dish, creating a rich interplay of light, shadow and surface that gives the strawberry a striking sense of depth.
The circular format naturally frames the composition, while the soft pink background and contrasting… dark leaves draw the viewer's attention to the vivid red fruit. The irregular shapes of the tesserae highlight the handmade nature of the work, embracing the expressive qualities of broken ceramic.
Measuring 15 cm in diameter, Strawberry reflects Henry's fascination with botanical subjects and the enduring appeal of mosaic as a contemporary art form. It invites viewers to pause and appreciate the beauty found in simple, familiar objects through skilled craftsmanship.
