merete rasmussen: stoneware’s soft curves

Sign up here to receive the DAM newsletter.

I continue to be attracted to the movement of a curving line and Danish artist Merete Rasmussen’s sculptures are a good example of why curves work for me.  Rasmussen uses a coiling technique to create stoneware shapes with concave and convex surfaces that flow in, out and around soft curves. On many of the sculptures and wall pieces she connects only one side and one edge. To further emphasize the form the London based artist uses matte, monochrome colors.

    I found Merete Rasmussen’s works sinuous ceramics wonders! Fresh from her admission in the Saatchi Gallery, she blends art, architecture and design to create abstract shapes that have being beautiful as their sole function! Amazing!
