Hans Meeuwsen’s porcelain wall relief from 2026, titled “2026 - 85 white minimalist wall relief,” is in excellent condition, measures 175 mm wide by 210 mm high by 158 mm deep, is white with a wall thickness of about 1 mm and features two signature appliqués, one bearing the first name and the other the Japanese characters raku and yakimono, sold directly by the artist.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The artwork is made of porcelain, oxidation-fired at 1240°C. The wall thickness is about one millimeter, resulting in some transparency in the porcelain.
On the back there are several cutouts to which the work can be hung. In the photos with the light background, the object is shown hanging.
For shipping, this crate will be packed as a “box in box,” with the space in between filled with shock-absorbing, environmentally friendly material.
Hans Meeuwsen (born 1954, The Netherlands) graduated from the Visual Arts Academy in Tilburg to initially become a teacher in visual arts at a secondary school. His main specialty was drawing, but he accidentally discovered the potential of clay as a visual arts medium. Rolling, pressing and cutting produced small flat squares of clay that he used to build cubic shapes resembling hermetically closed cells.
A few years later he gained national and international recognition with exhibitions in The Netherlands and Germany. Important works from that time include towers, pyramids and other structures, some pure geometric abstractions, others 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 of Hirado.
In more recent years he has continued to develop 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 ultimately they clearly 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 ever since then his work has found its way to many national and international collections.
Seller's Story
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 specialism was drawing, but he accidentally discovered the potential of clay as a visual arts medium. Rolling, pressing and cutting provided him with little flat clay squares that he used to built 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 developped his ceramic skills during residencies at the European Ceramic Work Center in The Netherlands and working periods in New Zealand, Lithuania and the Japanese Island Hirado.
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. He applies his decades-long experience to create a dialogue between inner and outer space, between geometric and organic, between order and chaos.
