DRESS SCULPTURES
BY HANS VAN BENTEM
During his 2019 residency at WL CERAMICS, Dutch artist Hans van Bentem created several new works, including the DRESS series. Inspired by the symmetry of wheel-thrown pottery, the female form of many vase archetypes and a love for ceramic decorative patterns, these life size objects use the elegance of the techniques to suggest a female presence; a creation of sculptural figures in decorative styles.
