Midcentury and Contemporary Art Ceramics

Geschiedenis

Modern Shapes presents a delicate and timeless mix of studio ceramics from now and then. All are absolutely unique and were hand thrown. Some are museum quality works signed by renowned masters, others are more discrete. But all showcase the same craftsmanship and sculptural presence that would complement any art collection or contemporary interior.

"Founded in 2011, Modern Shapes Gallery is specialised in unique contemporary and modern sculptural art with an emphasis on ceramics. It is as much a gallery as it is a curated platform. It presents several exhibitions a year, dedicated to both rising and established talent. And it presents a very personal and balanced selection of objects, often balancing on the dividing line between design, art and architecture. Founder Michaël Francken’s personal taste and quirky passion results in a program that combines both high quality 20th century masters and more contemporary artists working on the balance between abstract, sculptural and architectural work. All bearing witness to craftsmanship and sculptural presence."
