Ontwerpen voor een theepot 1874 - 1932

Mathieu Lauweriks made this sketch for a teapot, with pencil on paper. Look at this piece, and you can see Lauweriks was interested in artmaking as a process, as he uses a grid to define his drawing. The material aspect of this piece is all about the layering of the sketch. The surface shows an exploration of geometric ideas, with a series of marks and calculations, which give us a clear view into the artist's process. Look at the bottom left corner, you can see the artist playing with some ideas of circles. This relates to the piece as a whole by showcasing the artist's thought process. This piece is reminiscent of the work of Mondrian. The piece embraces ambiguity and multiple interpretations of fixed and definitive meanings, and the use of geometry gives a conceptual form to the drawing.
