[1974~2021년, 전시로 본 통인화랑 역사: 외국작가(1)] Piet Stockmans [TONG-IN Gallery: 2006, 2009년]
Piet Stockmans is a very prolific artist. Ceramics is in itself already an art os limitations, imposed by the onerous and lengthy technical processes involved. But Stockmans has chosen to take this a step further and to make his boundaries even narrower and more restrictive than the average ceramist, in the choice of material and colour.
He works mainly with only two elements, porcelain slip and blue cobalt. By doing so, he proves that there are no limits inherent to the materials and processes if the creative and imaginative mind are given free vent.
Not only in the choice of material or colour is there something repetitive in Stockmans’ art, this is also obvious from his designs and installations.
Piet Stockmans learned the secrets of porcelain in Selb, Germany and in Limoges, France, before becoming the house designer with the Dutch porcelain factory royal Mosa. In 1998 he received the prestigious Henri van de Velde prize for outstanding career achievement.
Works of his are in the collections of the Gent Design Museum, the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum and the New York Metropolitan Museum.
