Mieke Van Den Hoogen

Netherland born, Mieke Van Den Hoogen’s female inspired sculptures are abstract renditions that feel both unconventional and timeless. Her porcelain and ceramic works transfuse her audience into curious discovery as she intertwines the relationship between the female body and nature. Earthy transitions of color are applied over as a glaze, as well as muted tones.  Accentuated lines, towering layers, and asymmetric forms with curves and contortions become her signature style. Hoogen uses clay as the raw material and relies on its adaptability and malleability to showcase the continuous evolutions of the inner character of women. Hoogen combines the roughness of clay, ceramic, the intensity of the primary colors as well as ancient Indian and African processing techniques. Her works have been on exhibition internationally, including Tokyo, Paris, and the Netherlands.
