Ania Perkowska is a London based ceramic artist. She creates functional pieces inspired by contrasts and opposites.
Growing up as a child in communist Poland, Ania’s life was underpinned by stark grey concrete structures.
Her work draws from the rawness, seeking beauty in simplicity of the form, tactility of the texture. She explores how limitations can inspire and release creativity, as well as the tension between surface and form, between the ordered and the organic.
She uses geometric forms, minimalistic decoration and natural qualities of the materials, pushing the clay to its limits.
From a distance, Ania’s work can appear quiet. It is only when one gets closer, when one touches and holds her pieces that they get to see the detail, feel the texture, experience the surfaces.
