Hans Meeuwsen’s abstract porcelain wall relief titled “2026 - 19 Wit minimalistisch wandrelief” is a unique handmade white porcelain work from the Netherlands (150 mm wide, 150 mm high, 50 mm deep), dated 2026, signed with two porcelain applications—one bearing the artist’s first name and the initial of his surname, the other bearing the Japanese characters Raku and Yakimono.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The artwork is made of porcelain, oxidatively fired at 1240 C. The wall thickness is about one millimeter. At the back there is a recess to hang the work. In the first five photos with the light background, the object is shown hanging.
It is a unique handmade object. The artist has signed this work with two porcelain appliqués, one bearing his first name and the first letter of his surname, the other featuring two Japanese characters, Raku and Yakimono.
During shipping, this box will be packed in a “box in box” arrangement, with the intermediate space filled with shock-absorbing environmentally friendly material.
Hans Meeuwsen (1954, The Netherlands) graduated from the Visual Arts Academy in Tilburg to become a teacher of 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 provided him with small flat clay squares that he used to build cubic shapes evoking 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 representing 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 during 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 recall the Dutch Zero movement and, in particular, the works by Jan Schoonhoven, yet ultimately bear 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 since then his work has found its way into many national and international collections.

During the most recent years he has further developped his ceramic skills and works with creamy white wafer-thin slices of egg-shell 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 artists' own signature.
