The ultimate vase

Often in Piet Stockmans' oeuvre, the differences between his various activities - art, craft and industry - are overemphasized. That is why I have chosen a work with a synthetic force. The vase as an object is a reference to his activities as an industrial designer and at the same time to his artistic breakthrough in the early 1980s in which he accumulated thousands of small vases or crucibles into almost endless works of art. In this 2001 work, the vase in its most extreme form ceases to be a vase and is transformed into a blue surface that hangs on the wall like a canvas. This rebirth of a traditional and in se utilitarian object as a work of art is a model for the consistent and congruent way in which Piet Stockmans deals with porcelain.
