Babs Haenen Art
Babs Haenen is a ceramic artist living and working in Amsterdam. Haenen creates expressive sculptures that give equal importance to color, line and form. Taking influence from 20th-century abstract painting as well as elements from the natural world, Haenen creates richly pigmented painterly compositions on slabs of porcelain. These compositions are then cut, folded and built into 3-dimensional sculptures. The resulting forms often resemble vessels or geological elements and are always imbued with a dynamic inner choreography.

"RAKU RED AND WHITE", wheel formed white glaze, copper red, gold leaf, sculpture
By Andrew Cornell Robinson
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"RAKU RED AND WHITE", 2019, in wheel-formed white glaze with copper red blush, sprig, stamp, gold leaf and raku fired with kintsuji gold by artist Andrew Cornell Robinson, is one of a series of sculptural objects that include ceramic, glass and mixed media grottoes and containers. A project exploring the vessel form and notions of gratitude, plenty, poverty in material or humanity.
Robinson has led artists to explore tableware as sculptural form – "Changing attitudes and emerging social behaviors in food preparation and the social and cultural rituals of eating have lead to changes in the way tableware is made and used."
Andrew Cornell Robinson is an interdisciplinary artist working across media (ceramics, textiles, painting, prints, etc.). His work is influenced by collaborative craft communities, traditions, and the performative qualities of cultural production. The underlying ideas exploring identity, histories, rituals, and power in his work aim to create a space for intimate experiences and open narratives.
He studied ceramic sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art and the Maryland Institute College of Art where he received a BFA. He was awarded an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, where he became interested in the intersection of memory, identity, politics, and power. He has been featured in many publications including Sculpture Magazine, Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, Art Info, et al. He has participated in curatorial and research projects and recently was a participating artist in Debtfair a project in the Whitney Biennial.
Andrew has also worked on collaborations with designers such as Donna Karan’s Urban Zen project where his work in ceramics led to workshops with artisans in Haiti and the creation of a ceramic studio in Port-au-Prince. He is currently working with The Powerhouse Arts Workshop and their design team from the Pritzker-prize winning architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in the design and development of a contemporary industrial fabrication center established to serve the working needs of artists in New York City.
He is currently a member of the faculty at Parsons School of Design and Greenwich House Pottery in New York City. His work has been presented extensively throughout the world with the Anna Kustera Gallery, David & Schweitzer Contemporary, Christopher Stout...

Babs Haenen "Delfts Labyrinth" Vase, the Netherlands 2019
By Babs Haenen
Located in Utrecht, NL
The “Delfts Labyrinth” Vase has a strong sense of movement and harmony. Babs Haenen has a background in dance and often it seems as if she is choreographing her ceramics into one of a kind shapes and forms. Like many of Haenen’s works, this vase seems to have hardened from a liquid state, which shows off her great skill. The blue and white porcelain is the scene of an expressive play of shadows, cast by the labyrinth-like pattern.
The vase is made of coloured porcelain slabs that the artist manipulates by hand and are coloured with pigment and rolled exquisitely to form thin ribbons, folded in organic shapes. The result is a modern, yet classic appearance.
As the name suggests, the colours are inspired by the iconic Delft Blue ceramics, that originated in the 17th century. The blue is present in various shapes and shades; as saturated surfaces, as a diluted mixture, but also as fine lines on the curvature of the vase’s many forms. This exceptional ceramic work of Babs Haenen is expressive of her skill and artistic expression.

Babs Haenen "Rhapsody in Blue" Vase, The Netherlands, 2016
By Babs Haenen
Located in Utrecht, NL
Babs Haenen "Rhapsody in Blue" vase, The Netherlands, 2016
This richly pigmented vase, with its unruly form and angles, seems as if it is ready to burst out of its static form any second. A rhapsody is an effusively enthusiastic or ecstatic expression of feeling, and this vase gives a physical form to it.
An equal importance was given to line, color, and form, resulting in a visually striking but harmonious piece. On closer observation, the vase has several pigments and a beautiful pattern that gives a geological element to the piece. The Rhapsody in Blue is a standout piece, carrying the unique characteristic of Babs Haenen’s art.
