Exhibition of a new group of artists in the collection of Galerie Terra Delft:
LMFD Studio (Hu Chunyu en Jiang Yuting)
Gallery Terra Delft, a gallery for contemporary ceramics, has assembled a diverse collection featuring many prominent ceramists in its 38-year history. A characteristic of the gallery is its devotion to its artists, many of whom have had their work displayed there for years. In this way, Terra Delft represents its artists with integrity and continuity.
In this new year and with the recent developments at the gallery – Yingchao Wu and Di Cao have recently come on board to support the Terra team – it is time for some regeneration in the collection. We have come into contact with several young artists who have each claimed their own identity in ceramics.
We met XiaoCao in Jingdezhen (China). Her technique has a painterly effect; her use of color and glaze result in landscape-like abstractions. These framed wall pieces are displayed on a wall or in a stand as a painting.
Uriel Caspiis an Israeli artist who also studied in the USA and has already exhibited worldwide, such as Taiwan and Japan. His abstract figures refer to animals, plants, or organs. The high-gloss luster glazes have an effect which is both alienating and attractive. His work was already shown in Delft during the Delft Ceramic Days 2024.
Anemoon on Fire has created an original world of ceramic figurative fantasy pieces which have already made waves, such as in the exhibition Oracles from Far & Near in Museum Princessehof in Leeuwarden (NL). Her enormous production astonishes, touches and surprises in both subject matter and quantity.
Sepideh Jahanpanah from Iran graduated in 2017 from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Her work encompasses the topics of growth and erosion, life and death. The organic forms are somber, restrainedly glazed, and all unique, though she frequently works in series.
LMFD Studio stands for Luo Mi Feng Dou Studio and consists of the work of Hu Chunyu and Jiang Yuting from Chima. Together they make interpretations of ceramic archetypes such as the vase and the teapot. Using strikingly-colored strips of porcelain clay, they create distinctive, unorthodox objects.
On Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 16:00 the exhibition will open, with Uriel, Anemoon, and Sepideh in attendance.
