Peter Hoogeboom: Year of the Ox

Artist list

Peter Hoogeboom

Peter Hoogeboom is fascinated by Chinese cuisine. Not only by the food, but also by the particular and traditional packaging for saving or carrying it. In his new collection of work Hoogeboom works in metal and porcelain as well as bamboo. Here, his double experience with goldsmithing and porcelain techniques comes in handy. It is no accident that Hoogeboom was born in the Year of the Ox, which represented metal, and is now exhibiting this collection in the Year of the Ox, representing earth...
The brooches and necklaces on display comprise large numbers of stacked or threaded elements, still recognisable as scaled down and exact versions of bowls or pots but which have now become part of rhythm and structure.
