Still together: clever sculptures of broken porcelain vases within other glass ones by Bouke de Vries

Bouke de Vries, a Dutch artist, has captivated the art world with his unique approach to ceramics. His work, which often features broken porcelain pieces reassembled within glass vessels, speaks to themes of destruction and repair, history and transformation. De Vries’ journey from fashion to ceramics conservation, and ultimately to art, showcases his ability to see beauty in the broken.

His sculptures, infused with a ‘Vanitas’ character, remind us of the fragility of life and the enduring power of art. By embracing the imperfections and stories of each shattered piece, de Vries creates something new and profound, offering a visual commentary on the value we assign to objects and their material history.
