Hans Meeuwsen's 2026 white minimalist porcelain wall relief, 125 × 125 × 108 mm, signed with two applications (one bearing the first name and the other the Japanese characters Raku and Yakimono), produced in the Netherlands in a modern style and sold directly by the artist in excellent condition.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The artwork is made of porcelain, fired oxidatively at 1240 C. The wall thickness is about one millimeter, giving the porcelain a certain degree of transparency.
The work is signed with two applications; on the first are the given name and the first letter of the surname, and on the second the Japanese characters Raku and Yakimono.
On the back there is a recess by which the work can be hung. In the first five photos with the light background, the object is shown hanging.
For shipping, this box will be packaged as a “box in box,” with the space between 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 specialty was drawing, but he accidentally discovered the potential of clay as a visual arts medium. Rolling, pressing and cutting produced him little flat clay squares 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 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 during working periods in New Zealand, Lithuania and the Japanese island of 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, 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.
