It’s always a good day when I get my hands on a new issue of Ceramics Art and Perception. And it’s an even better day when your introduced to a new amazing artist you’ve never heard of before. The work of Danish artist Louise Hindsgavl has completely captivated me.
I find this work beautifully rendered and the imagery is rich with political and social commentary. The accompanying article by Tom Jorgensen is a great read, so I won’t ruin it for you by telling you too much, but I love this quote about her work; “Her porcelain figurines break just about every thinkable and unthinkable rule for what we can and can’t do. They emanate violence, mutilation, obscenity and wonderfully coarse humour.” How’s that for a description?
Check out the Nancy Margolis Gallery for more images of her work as well as other greats such as Justin Novak, Bean Finneran, Steve Heinemann, Eva Hild, Annabeth Rosen, Tommi Toija and Sun-Koo Yuh.
