Hugo Meert

Research as regards contents around function, beauty, design,… allows Hugo Meert to create a personal sphere of action which is situated between art and design, craft and industry. The passion for working with clay and porcelain led to a “ceramic” experimenting. In a formal way he often rides the boundary between sense and nonsense, design is the provocation of change. He develops via exceptional technical and oldfashioned knowledge without focusing on this in too narrow a manner. Nominated by various bodies, he also received commissions and assignments from prominent contemporary artists such as Michel Francois, Sisley Xhafa and Jan Vercruysse. Recently he received from Lili Dujourie a commission for the Documenta 12 in Kassel (D). Hugo Meert brings the frequently precarious position of ceramics taken up between arts and crafts to the point.
