Jingdezhen and Amsterdam

Artist list

Claudia Biehne, Peter Hoogeboom, Paul Smith, Thomas Stollar

Three renowned ceramic artists were hosted this year at the Jingdezhen FROOTS Artist Residency Program: Claudia Biehne from Germany, Paul Smith from the UK, and Thomas Stollar from USA. Their diverse works rank among the highest achievements of contemporary ceramic art, even as they all pay tribute to the Jingdezhen birthplace of this art form. 

Alongside the works created in Jingdezhen, this extraordinary exhibition features ceramic jewelry pieces by Peter Hoogeboom. This acclaimed Dutch artist employs the universal ceramic vocabulary to recreate iconic objects of individual cultures: Tea sets from China and Japan; vegetable-pickling jars from the city of Tianjin, China; and flower pots from Holland. Hoogeboom transforms these objects into art-jewelry treasures.
