AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The artwork is made of porcelain, oxidisation-fired at 1240°C. The wall thickness is about one millimeter.

On the back there is a recess to hang the piece. In the first five photos with the light background the object is shown hanging. It is a handmade object.

For shipping, this crate will be packed as a “box in box,” with the gap filled with shock-absorbing, environmentally friendly material.

Hans Meeuwsen (1954, The Netherlands) graduated from the Visual Arts Academy in Tilburg to initially become a teacher in visual arts at an upper secondary school. His main specialization was drawing, but he accidentally discovered the potential of clay as a visual arts medium. Rolling, pressing and cutting produced small flat clay squares that he used to build cubic shapes looking like hermetically closed cells.

A few years later he received national and international recognition with exhibitions in The Netherlands and Germany. Important works from that time include towers, pyramids and other constructions, some being pure geometric abstractions, others being interpretations of the mythical Tower of Babel. Hans further developed his ceramic skills during residencies at the European Ceramic Work Centre in The Netherlands and working periods in New Zealand, Lithuania and the Japanese island Hirado.

During the most recent years he has further developed his ceramic skills and works with creamy white wafer-thin slices of porcelain that are mounted into cubes or pyramids. By stacking these geometric shapes in repetitive patterns he creates sculptures that are reminiscent of the Dutch Zero movement and in particular the works by Jan Schoonhoven, but in the end clearly bears the artist’s own signature. He applies his decades-long experience to create a dialogue between inner and outer space, between geometric and organic, between order and chaos.

Hans Meeuwsen is a “Prix de Rome” nominee of 1987 and a Fletcher Challenge Ceramic merit award winner of 1992 and ever since then his work has found its way to many national and international collections.
