Maarten Vrolijk, Sakura TRP 16014, NL
About the Item
Amsterdam-based artist and designer Maarten Vrolijk believes that art should make people’s everyday lives more beautiful through the many little details that evoke the unexpected. While strongly influenced by the natural world, Vrolijk is not on a quest to expose an imitation of the “real” world, but rather, is on an exploration of the simple, unequivocal, and often overlooked aspects: color, form, delicacy, strength, transparency, ephemerality, that provide a map to the fascinations we gravitate to when experiencing the world around us.
The volatility in accomplishing the exceptional thickness of his vases creates a risky balance between strength and delicacy. The thermal stress caused when trying to equalize the interior and exterior temperature of the cooling vessels, is fraught with the propensity for breakage. The success of Vrolijk’s works lie in the crystalline clarity posed against their substantial physical impact.
However, Vrolijk’s greatest success is the organic nature that he maintains throughout the work. Each form has an eccentricity achievable only by the hand of the artist. The jewel-toned fragments, appearing like colorful melting ice or otherworldly barnacles seemingly attaching themselves to the central form, give way to an explosion of color.
Vrolijk’s large-scale glass vessels have been collected and exhibited in several renowned international museums including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Groninger Museum. Todd Merrill Studio is pleased to be the exclusive representative for Vrolijk’s work in the Americas.

- Blooming Terra, a Ceramic Decorative Vase in Brown and Grey by Maarten VrolijkBy Maarten VrolijkLocated in London, GBBlooming Terra is an earthenware ceramic decorative vase in brown, grey and pink by the Dtuch artist Maarten Vrolijk. Vrolijk approaches his ceramic artworks using the surface of his created forms as a canvas, yet with his medium being clay, it instantly adds a depth and relief that is more substantial than its painterly counterpart. Keeping his mark-making intuitive and immediate, the material reacts in its own unique way, dragging and creating small trails of the displaced clay, embellishing his own lines. It is these unexpected structures that create in the artist’s eye, additional unique beauty in each piece. Enhanced by extra layers of colors and glazes, the resulting artworks combine spontaneity, charm, naivety, nature and storytelling.
