Marc Roos, Melle, Belgium. Unique ceramic sculptures, layered structures. Always searching for that one unique piece of art.
 
 
Art and ceramics
The result of his artworks all began with a bold project: 'recycled cardboard.' He studied the interplay of lines, shapes, and the diversity of baled pressed cardboard. The intriguing layering inspired him to incorporate it into his current artworks..

Design
The artworks are never pre-drawn but are built up intuitively, allowing Marc Roos to retain freedom during the creative process. He manages to wield a powerful and, above all, balanced visual language. The organically inspired textures are then appropriately colored with oxides. The unity in his works transports the viewer to another dimension of time, characterized primarily by a sort of meditative tranquility.

Technique
The artworks of Marc Roos demonstrate great technical skill, partly due to the high complexity of his free-form construction techniques. To achieve the structure, the clay is rolled out and manipulated. Only then can the actual assembly begin. This assembly must be done very precisely. Each creation is meticulously built up layer by layer with careful precision. The technique therefore requires a great deal of patience and mastery.
