About the Item
Heart sculpture by Natasja Alers, 2018
Dimensions: 45 x 40 x 37 cm
Material: ceramics, glazes.
Visual artist Natasja Alers (The Hague, 1987) graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in the field of ceramics. Alers makes casts of human body parts and constructs them into new sculptures, vases, reliefs, seating objects and installations. Her work has previously been on display at Collectible Art Fair, Art Zuid, PAN Amsterdam, Big Art, Rademakers Gallery and foreign exhibitions in cities such as Berlin, Brussels, Antwerp and Copenhagen.
Alers plays with the viewer’s expectations. her work attracts visually, drawing you nearer, but it also gets under your skin. It is an exploration of contradictory moods of sensuality and unsettling feelings, a quest for the raw and ambiguous spaces in both body and psyche. By pushing and stretching the sculptured body from within, it raises tension and vulnerability in the material. The visceral glazes and the specific combination of colors refer to redefining the skin of the sculpture.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
