Babs Haenen

Babs Haenen creates expressive and impressionistic ceramics that give equal importance to colour, line and form. Her works are embellished in a painterly manner, highlighting the influence of abstract painting and landscape motifs, like rippling water, on her practice. Haenen's works with coloured porcelain slabs and builds colourful, organic vessels with a dynamic inner choreography. Layering the slabs with pigment allows her to form thin ribbons of coloured porcelain, which she folds, cuts, and sculpts to create her vessels.
