Katia JACQUET

She creates stigmatized objects from primitive materials, totems that carry the energy infused during their creation. Fascinated by the artisan's gesture, she aspires to reconnect with the material and create sculptural pieces that can become useful and durable objects. Katia Jacquet's quest for purity leads her to design functional ceramics in her own unique style.

Katia Jacquet works with wood and clay, drawing on simple geometric shapes to design tactile objects that seek balance. Her sculptural ceramics are also functional; they are made of stoneware, shaped and thrown by hand, and then glazed with enamels developed through her own research. Firing them at 1250°C gives them exceptional durability and longevity.

The following works will be presented at “ Private Choice ”: a collection of sculptural fruit bowls and lamps, titled “Hilla” and numbered. The lamps draw inspiration from the photographic work of the couple Bernd and Hilla Becher, particularly their series of water towers, which are cataloged in an encyclopedic and systematic manner. The glazed ceramics embrace the geometry of industrial buildings and the minimalist aesthetic of modernist architecture, which continues to fuel the artist’s imagination.
