About MeIn the work of Belgian ceramic artist Ann Van Hoey, everything seems to originate from a flawless order and geometric logic. Even the origami-like incisions that interrupt the pure form of the circle or of the hemisphere express the will to reach perfection and contribute to a new purity, that of creation.
With deceptive ease, Ann Van Hoey succeeds in bringing about a new order and a new logic that are her own, the order and logic of a clear and pure line that seems almost compass-drawn, aiming for a technically impeccable result and an aesthetic that is as simple as it is seductive.
More About Me
It's red, sleek and shiny, so it's a Ferrari, right? Or is it? What else does it remind you of?
