Still Waters Run Deep
January 21 - February 26 '11
Art Affairs Gallery
Amsterdam
Pieke Bergmans will be showing her new crystal water carafes and a series of ceramic vases, entitled 'Unlimited Editions' for her solo show at the Art Affairs Gallery in Amsterdam opening on January 21st.
Pieke Bergmans is a young product designer from the Netherlands. She has studied at the Academy of Arts, St. Joost Breda (graphic design). HKA-Art-School Arnhem (3D-Design). Design Academy Eindhoven (Industrial Design). Royal College of Art, London (MA, Design Products). She works on a large variety of projects around the globe. Her favourite modus operandi is to alter existing production processes to come to new forms and functions.
Pieke's work is spontaneous, playful and fresh. She aims to combine function, form and message in a single elegant gesture. Whether working with porcelain, plastic or glass, she always creates objects that are of a pure and natural beauty.
Diversity is one of her significant trademarks. She finds inspiration and opportunity in each industry and in every different material. In cooperation with factories, Pieke explores the possibilities of their production facilities, and manipulates them. The goal is to make 'personalized mass production' where irregularities are ruled in.
Pieke has recently been featured by Alice Rawsthorn's in her article 'Object Lesson | The Imperfectionists' in the New York Times.
