Sonja Duo-Meyer Ceramics: Works 1992-2017

By Gabi Dewald and Frank Nievergelt

Thanks to a conscious reduction in form and color, the ceramics by the Swiss artist Sonja Du -Meyer (b. 1953) unfurl incredible expressive power. Their flowing silhouettes appear almost meditative, fixed points emerge in the light asymmetry of their forms, and a sophisticated play on light and shade develops. Surfaces, material, corpora and technique are interwoven through a minimalistic design concept that celebrates stillness and the concept of the void. Photographs of objects as well as exhibition views show vessels, objects and wall installations from 1992 to 2017. A particular highlight are works and ideas from the ceramic center Tajimi, where, as artist in residence, the artist engaged intensively with Japanese techniques. With exciting illustrations and informative essays, this first monograph on Sonja Du -Meyer presents the development of a career in contemporary ceramic art now spanning over forty years. Text in English and German.
