MASTERPIECES 10th Anniversary Exhibition
Exhibition 1 March - 21 April 2018
A Treasury of Masterpieces - inspiration, models and clay sketches
The gallery celebrates its 10th anniversary with a string of art pieces by more than 60 exhibitors, showing their private selection of special and unknown pieces, significant model sketches for inspiration, proposals for major projects.
In the spirit of the Gallery, it is possible to look into a treasury of ideas and ceramics of traditional, conceptual and humorous nature.
The Gallery is small, but the 'ceiling high' when it comes to quality - promoting, professional and idealistic. In collaboration with the artists, the Gallery has shown about 100 exhibitions, often in a combination of recognised established and new talents, international names in relation to Danish colleagues and thematic exhibitions, - focusing on current traditional and experimental contemporary ceramic art and unique ceramic pieces.
Ann Linnemann has been working at the location for 20 years. The first years with her own studio and private showroom, but from 2008 also exhibiting and promoting ceramic contemporary art and unique crafts by Danish and international colleagues. The exhibitions have continuously informed the audience of contemporary ceramic art. It has been a busy and eventful time with many interesting visits, amazing art pieces and stories from the real life :-)
THANK YOU to all the exhibitors who have shown their great pieces in the Gallery over the years. Also grateful thanks to the Danish Art Foundation, Ellen & Knud Dalhoff Larsens Fond, Danmarks Nationalbank's Anniversary Foundation, L.F.Foghts Fond, OJD Fonden, and art associations, private collectors, faithful customers, colleagues, friends and family for invaluable support.

Annemette Kissow – Egg cup, 2016Porcelain, modelled and cast
5 x 19 x 19 cm
The work is a derelict and shattering from my everyday function-product casting. I have played with the forms that I make for Michelin restaurants and put them together challengingly.

Asger Kristensen - VesselStoneware, oxydation 1280 C.
14 x 22 cm

Bente Skjøttgaard - Mnemiopsis leidyi, 2018Stoneware & glaze, modelled
H 24 x Ø 25 cm
Often inspiration is gained in nature's own formal principles and phenomena, and this time the starting point is the American Ribbegople Mnemiopsis leidyi, also known as the Kill Mount.
Actually, I was initially fascinated by its simple shape with the 8 ribs that I could instantly transform into ceramic form with ample opportunity for artistic variations, but its silent weightlessness is also a challenging reference to work with in my material. (Photo: Ole Akhøj)
Born 1961, DK - www.skjoettgaard.dk
Better Lübbert - Flora Remix, 2017Porcelain, thrown, silkscreen print, brush, 1265C

Birgitte Christens - Side Effect, 2017Porcelain, blue Japanese wave decal, glaze
10 x 31 x 38 cm.
The piece was a great and exciting challenge, inspired by inhibited lung function. A pain, a feeling of suffocation. Decal print is a Japanese traditional pattern transformed.
Birgitte Christens - Child´s Pose (figure), 2017Modelled porcelain paper, oxide crayon, glaze. Japan.
10 x 15 x 35 cm.
The work is a rethink of old drawings. I am inspired by the yoga position The Children's Position, the colorful graphic surface is inspired by the painter Egon Schiele. An expression translated into 3D and ceramics, as an extension of my other body pieces.
Born 1982, DK - www.birgittechristens.dk
Bodil Manz - My Masterpiece, 2016Cylinder, porcelain, paint & transfer, lustre..
10,5 x 11,5 cm
The cylinder was cast, dried, bisqued. After high glaze firing, it appeared full of iron stains. On my way to the bin, I thought - no. Tried my red Japanese color in a new low firing. Next fired yellow and turquoise transfers. It looked no good, - I became stubborn, in a way found it's ugliness interesting, perhaps even beautiful. Fired with luster, again in a different temperature. After 5 firings, it has become my little problem child. Masterpiece - yes, maybe only for myself.
Born 1943, DK - www.bodilmanz.com

Christian Bruun - Thrown form, blue, 2016Cut, thrown stoneware, wood fired 1360C

Mona Vander – Rotate, 2017Hand-thrown stoneware sculpture
5.5 x 9 x 9 cm
A small outline of a rotated figure which is at a standstill, with three supporters. The idea is that the small clay sketch, maybe one day may be the pathway to the masterpiece. I'm always on my way! When it is not a sketch anymore, is it then a masterpiece? Is it a masterpiece when it dares to stand all alone in the world?

23 x 17 cm
Tektonika is inspired by the way the tectonic plates push towards each other through the surface of the earth.

Stephen Bowers AU - Ming, Morris, Phone app, 2016
Earthenware, marbeled, brush painted
STEPHEN BOWERS (b. 1953, AU) lives and works in Australia. He brings together in his painted ceramic vessels many of the traditions from the history of ceramics. In any one piece, one might find traces of many familiar styles and decorations. While maintaining a respect for the master techniques, Stephen Bowers' flamboyant and exuberant ceramics combine a classical ceramic heritage with inspiration from indigenous sources and are spiced with dashes of wit. His work is distinguished by intricately painted underglazes which "wear its expertise lightly. He is acknowledged for his detailed pieces, exhibiting in the USA, UK and Australia.
