Contemporary Ceramic Blooming Terra I floodlight by Maarten Vrolijk

About the Item

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 present an imitation of the “real” world, but rather, 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. Working across a myriad of fine art and craft disciplines, his mixed media practice is remarkable for its consistency and fluidity. A steady line can be drawn throughout his body of work. His paintings inform his ceramics, which in turn are reflected in his textiles. The composition of his textiles is laid out with the same meticulous planning as his glass vessels. Though mostly abstracted, his subject has been primarily focused on flowers and other flora. Sometimes expressive, as in his paintings, or distinctly graphic, as in his ceramics, Vrolijk explains, “To my mind, flowers are nature’s gems and have long been a recurrent inspiration in my designs: the bold tulip, the sculpted rose, the delicate lily. Material: Composition Acrylic, recycled plastics, Elirex, paper ribbons, viscose, bio cotton, natural and synthetic rubber. Ceramics, hand build and sculpted glazed ceramics. Sculpted from natural colored clay from various natural areas around the world. Hand stiched and painted lampshade, acrylic on jute.
