Overview

The first monograph on the artist This monograph traces the career of Clémence van Lunen, a sculptor who trained in Belgium with Michel Smolders and then at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. 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.
