2022: participant ART021 artfair with Gallery Terra Beijing
Ann van Hoey, inspired by the Japanese art of paper folding, displays bowls in the natural shades of clay, and also a number of brightly colored bowls sprayed with automotive paint, a reference to the refinement of Japanese lacquerware.
Her bowl shapes are based on a hemisphere that she cuts and places on top of each other. Nowadays she uses a varied color palette in pastels. Her technique is great; every piece is perfect. Light and shadow enhance the sharp lines on the matte shapes.
