Pit Fired Abstract Organic Modern Sculpture by Jan Jacque

About the Item

For your consideration is this unique pit-fired abstract sculpture by American artist, Jan Jacque. Inspired by nature, Jacque created this sculpture circa 1975 using a coil-building technique. The composition shows the interaction of two hollow, organic forms. The surface shows subtle changing color and shadow created by Jacque's pit firing technique in which she utilizes a variety of solid combustibles such as exotic hardwood, sawdust, leaves, straw, and pine needles. Each type of combustible has its own unique affect on the surface's finished appearance. The sculpture is notably nice to the touch and is signed "jj."

  • Abstract Marble Sculpture by Jan Keustermans
    Located in Vlimmeren, BE
    This abstract sculpture in Portuguese marble was sculpted ‘en taille directe’ by the Belgian artist Jan Keustermans. The soft pink veins of the Portuguese marble are beautiful. The sculpture is not signed. It is a unique piece, one of his most recent work. It is the first time that Jan Keustermans and his family offer a selection of sculptures, directly from the artist’s atelier. Jan Alfons Keustermans (°1940) is a Belgian sculptor, medalist and draftsman. He studied at the National Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Antwerp and until 2000 he was director of the Municipal Academy of Fine Arts in Turnhout. He has won several art prizes for sculpture and participated in group exhibitions in Belgium and abroad. He has created more than 850 works. In 1994, he won the Ministry of Finance’s competition for a portrait of King Albert II on the Belgian currency. In 1997 he designed a similar version for the euro coin.
