"Covered Box" is a ceramic sculpture by Maren Kloppmann, created in 1999. The artwork is a simple box shape with a lid, covered in a geometric pattern of green, black, and white glaze. The bold colors and precise lines lend a sense of order and structure to the piece, while the irregularity of the glaze application hints at a more organic, hand-crafted process. This piece is a testament to Kloppmann's exploration of the interplay between form and surface in ceramic sculpture.
Comments
Local artists Jan McKeachie-Johnston and Maren Kloppmann's ceramics represent two dramatically different aesthetics. McKeachie-Johnston derives inspiration from an eclectic mix of historical sources - African pottery, Native American basketry, and contemporary Japanese ceramics - which are felt in the rich surface pattern, deep colors, and striking abstract form of this vessel. In contrast, the German-born Kloppmann is known for her modernist approach. Symmetrical and geometric vessels like her Covered Box convey the clean, minimalist aesthetic of Europe in the 1930s, still appreciated today.
