Good enough to eat? Pretty much, and definitely good enough to eat off, Italian-born artist Bea Bonafini’s unusual ceramic crockery is, like much of her sculptural work, an alluring mixture of organic forms and the uncanny. As much abstract artwork as functional dinnerware, her pieces become like food themselves, or at least peculiar alien-like creates. Their subtle use of colour hints at her concurrent painting practise, and Bonafini completed her MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2016. Her crockery pieces form part of the artist-designed cafe/exhibition Tender Touches, co-curated by Huma Kabakcı & Inês Neto dos Santos, in which everything from the food itself to wallpaper, cutlery, crockery and more has been created by artists. The show runs until 30 June at AMP Gallery in South London.
