Clémence van Lunen

The first monograph on the artist >Although she first explored materials such as wood and metal latticework, it was in ceramics that she found her true artistic fulfilment. Her commitment to this medium was affirmed through a series of important residencies: first in Spain, at the Casa de Velasquez, then in France, at Les Rairies/Montrieux near Angers, and above all in China, at Jingdezhen, where she has worked regularly since 2004 in a converted former state factory. Passionate about teaching, Clémence van Lunen teaches drawing and sculpture at a number of institutions, including the École supérieure des Beaux-Arts du Mans (TALM). This publication highlights a dense and coherent career, in which ceramics becomes the vehicle for a personal and demanding sculptural language.
