Carla
Rovers (1970)
lives in Wanroij, the Netherlands.
In
her daily life she is occupied with architecture. She is fascinated by
the world of shapes and mass. Through influences from different
expressive artists and lessons taken from them, she has been able to
combine her sense of shape and mass with different craft technique.
The
specific way of molding and technique is intensified by the materials
used.
Clay
is one of the materials. In it’s coarse appearance it’s a natural
material that affiliate closely with the essence of simplicity. The
robust emanation comes into existence through her handwriting and the
use of the structure of the clay on the surface of her sculptures. The
pure colors of nature (metal oxides) are combined on her sculpture.
Next
to ceramics she also creates images of natural stone. This material is
excessively suitable to express the simple, powerful and significant
shapes of the artist.
With
the right shapes, lines, powerful but always with the survey of
simplicity, Carla Rovers tries to visualize an emotion or memory.
