This refined ceramic wall relief by Dutch modernist Cor Dam reflects a masterful exploration of organic form and surface. Gently swelling across a square format, the relief embodies biomorphic abstraction—suggesting natural rhythms, anatomical contours, or the softness of draped fabric. The influence of Jean Arp is evident in the sculpture’s intuitive fluidity and minimalist elegance.
Finished in a satin glaze, the ceramic reveals a delicate craquelé: a fine network of cracks that enhances the work’s texture and depth. This intentional surface treatment evokes age and tactility, engaging both light and viewer through its quiet detail.
A key figure in postwar Dutch ceramics, Cor Dam bridges the sculptural tradition of the European avant-garde with modernist restraint. This wall-mounted ceramic relief stands as a testament to his ability to balance material sensitivity with timeless, abstract form.
