Beatrijs van Rheeden’s monumental porcelain By Gertjan van der Stelt In: Ceramics : art and perception Issue no. 42 (december 2000), p. 17-19 What I find interesting is the fact that van Rheeden seems to be referring back to a technique she used while studying in Groningen, the Netherlands, when she was making large vases pinch-built extremely thinly. After her architectural pieces and her more playful objects she is back at this beginning and showing what her travels have yielded. She seems to be seeking the core of her overall theme throughout the years, that of monumentality. The character of her recent objects seems to be another expression of the underlying structure of her former works. An aspect of porcelain is that its whiteness and translucency makes it seem insubstantial, suggesting the intangible and spiritual. The total contrast with the robustness of van Rheeden's previous work leads to great curiosity about her future work. Read more...

Appeared in Art&Perception Technical, jan 2007 The first thing that strikes me seeing the new works of Beatrijs van Rheeden, is the use of colour.In some pieces she coloured the porcelain through and through with cobaltoxides. In her former works she used to be rather timid with colour. She sometimes gave little strips of colour, blue and sometimes green in the ribs that connected the walls, but always very minimal, so that only the very attentive was awarded with an extra dimension.
