Piet Stockmans Description

The 1995 nominated Cultural ambassador from Flanders Piet Stockmans, was born in the Belgian Leopoldsburg in 1940.

Porcelain is his focus, a material that he loves in all ways and forms. That is how he shapes industrial porcelain as well as attractive single objects or artistic installations. Especially the cold and unapproachable appearing white porcelain he gives soul and strong effects again and again by means of a careful treatment with the transparent form. It doesn’t need decorations and the phrase “reducing to the essential” is perfectly proven here.

As teacher for Industrial Design at the Katholeike Hogeschool Limburg in the Belgian Gent and as professor for Ceramic Design in the Holland Eindhoven he passes his knowledge and experience to following generations. His designs are shown in numerous international collections.
