Maarten Stuer's often monumental stoneware sculptures are inspired
inspired by the impeccable geometry of life and the movement of the
of the world. His blocks, lightened by holes and meshes, or subtly balanced
in subtle balances, evoke some celestial body, wave or shell
each time sliding towards greater abstraction and poetry.
Born in 1965 in Yokohama, Japan, the Flemish sculptor has made his home
for 25 years in the Gers, where he explores the limits of material between
between the eternal and the ephemeral, in an almost mystical search
the presence and absence of matter.
