Today is Day 4 of the iArtist Challenge . Jeannie Weissglass asked me to choose three posts a day for five days and each day to invite another artist. Today I will show some first pieces of the New Amstel Porcelain. Amstel Porcelain was named after the river Amstel running through Amsterdam. Made from 1759 until 1814, this high quality porcelain was very popular for its beautiful landscape and floral motifs. As a tribute to Amstel Porcelain, I make limited edition porcelain crockery, using images from Amsterdam. I also work with images that were formerly used by Amstel Porcelain, refreshing them and I integrate texts and poetry from Dutch writers. My focus is on reviving the cultural legacy of Amsterdam Porcelain but in a contemporary way. Hence NAP - or New Amstel Porcelain - all of my own design and poured and finished by hand. The result is sculptural crockery, seemingly delicate but dishwasher proof. All this created in my studio overlooking the Amstel river. 1. An étagère, was used in the Ysbreeker for a high tea during an exhibition time with theme de Amstel. 2. detail of a big dish. 3. squirrel on the BolmokYop. This one was a favorite of many collectors Galerie Artacasa a nice gallery where you find a lot of dish ware. Now I ask Kurt Merzfeld from Nice to show his work, Jespère que tu peut nous montrer quelque chose de ton beau travail Hubert :).
