De kunstenaar / 
The artist

Louise Hindsgavl (Copenhagen, 1973) biedt met haar sculpturen een nieuwe interpretatie van het klassieke porseleinen beeldje. Met haar narratieve sculpturen, onderzoekt ze de mogelijkheden die het genre volgens haar nog altijd kan bieden. In de keramische traditie zijn porseleinen figuurtjes delicaat en deugdzaam: uitdrukkingen van een geïdealiseerde wereld, een utopie. Hindsgavl laat de keerzijde van deze wereld zien. Zij speelt met de verwachtingen van de toeschouwer, door porseleinen figuren te maken die de mensheid in al haar facetten reflecteren. Gefascineerd door de donkere kant van de mens, geeft zij haar beelden een hint van het onverwachte, het vreemde, of zelfs gewelddadige. In haar scenario’s is er ruimte voor onschuld en lichtvoetigheid, maar evengoed voor woede, verwarring en a-moraliteit. Tegelijkertijd behouden haar werken de elegante schoonheid en aantrekkingskracht die van oudsher geassocieerd wordt met het porseleinen figuur. Haar gebruik van porselein zorgt voor een contrast tussen het pure, verfijnde materiaal en de rauwe aspecten van de wereld die zij wil uitbeelden. 

In her work, Louise Hindsgavl (Copenhagen, 1973) aims to offer a new interpretation of the classic porcelain figure. With her narrative sculptures, she explores the possibilities she feels the genre still offers today. In the ceramic tradition, porcelain figures are delicate and virtuous: expressions of an idealized world, a utopia. Hindsgavl presents us a contemporary counterpart of this imagined world. She plays with the expectations of the viewer, by creating porcelain figures that reflect mankind in all its facets. Fascinated by the dark side of mankind, she gives her figures a hint of the unexpected, the strange or even the violent. There is space for innocence and playfulness in her scenario’s, but also for anger, confusion and amorality. At the same time, her work maintains the elegant beauty and charming appeal associated with the classical porcelain figure. Her use of porcelain emphasizes the contrast between the pure, refined material and the raw aspects of the world she depicts.
