Me in Tokyo – for the new followers from the last month, thank you! My short CV and an ‚artist statement‘ to answer to your questions about my background – at least some of the questions, the easy ones about dates and education: The main focus of my work in porcelain and stoneware is the visual search for simplicity, serenity and beauty. Before I started my five years education as a ceramic artist, I built an academic background in Architecture, Art History and Philosophy and made then the bridge to craft. I am a quality worker not a quantity one: My work needs its time, sometimes a lot. CV: Born in Switzerland – but without a Swiss passport. I started my work as an independent ceramic artist in 1998 without a wheel. 2001-2006: Apprenticeship for ceramist with Master ceramist Mathies Schwarze, Germany. Wheel throwing. 1989-1995: Course of studies at the University of Zurich . Art History/German Philology/Philosophy (today M.A.) 1987-1989: Cours of studies at ETH Zurich .

Venice, Italy. September 2021.

‚Don’t protect me – I am fragile anyway’: Covid-19 special of the edition ‚Masterpieces’. I opened the door of the kiln today and found this delicate celadon green bowl. Some days ago, I had coated this bowl with a glaze that I found in one of my buckets without content description and became curious what kind of glaze I was hoarding there…… it was this celadon green. It goes well with these spring days, I thought.

Tabelware Collection ‘Pur’. 2005.

7/ HOPELESS: It is over. 2019. For two decades I have been working sporadically on groups of works with the main titles ‘HOPE’ and ‘HOPELESS’. With ‘HOPELESS: It is over’ I present another work that fits into this topic. The group I created in 2019 – consisting of fifteen hand thrown and sculpturally finished bottles for tears and a wide plate to give them support – is dedicated to the boundless sadness I suffered when my father died 26 years ago. One cold but sunny afternoon in February 1993, he was 58 years old. Exhibited in my showroom. For all my work groups I create a booklet with texts and photos. a v a i l a b l e – online gallery via link in bio. #ceramics #ceramic #art #installation #artnews #modernart #objects #contemporaryart #contemporary #artist #black #artoftheday #craft #handmade #contemporary #zurich #fineart #makersgonnamake #artcollector #installation #photooftheday #switzerland #artwork #helgaritschceramics @hervelancelin
