Clémence van Lunen

This monograph traces the career of Clémence van Lunen, a sculptor who trained in Belgium with Michel Smolders and then at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. Although she first explored materials such as wood and metal latticework, it was in ceramics that she found her true artistic fulfilment. Her commitment to this medium was affirmed through a series of important residencies: first in Spain, at the Casa de Velázquez, then in France, at Les Rairies/Montrieux near Angers, and above all in China, at Jingdezhen, where she has worked regularly since 2004 in a converted former state factory.
