Kunstner: Steen Ipsen

Born 1966 in Naestved

I work in a decorative ceramic expression involving both form and decoration. Decoration is integrated into the form and the form itself is spatially decorative.

The sculptures are all unique. The process is based on hand-built elements build up in terms and variations or free hand modelled objects. I focus on a high level of craftsman ship where ceramics are the central part of my works.

My works are glazed and fired several times to obtain a perfect and monochrome surface. As a contrast to the object, you can see colored strings or hand decorated pattern to express the influence of the sculpture’s movements and how to put the works in a spatial context and showing a strong graphical expression.
