Danish
ceramist Michael Geertsen is yet another mover and shaker from the renowned
Danish Design School. He trained as a traditional wheel-based potter and
ceramic designer. Above all, however, he is a student of human history. ¡°History
plays an important role in my entire approach to art. Understanding the lessons
of history is integral to my art.¡±

¡°The
individual components are hand-thrown. I then combine the elements into a
finished __EXPRESSION__, relying on manual processes and my eye for proportions.
While I start with a clear concept in mind, jazzy improvisation is always part
of my method. I strive to create a sculptural accumulation of familiar everyday
ceramic elements: cup, plate, flowerpot, saucer, teapot—sampled in a
deconstructivist approach that transcends our everyday life, pointing back into
history as well forward at new stories. In my view, gold and silver are the
essence of Western decadence and scream abundance and hedonism with an implicit
touch of kitsch. These precious metals are cheeky elements of bad taste. That
is why I continue to use them as narrative elements. In addition, the metallic
reflections create unique spaces when seen up close.¡±

Geertsen¡¯s
sculptures are complex, interlocking forms imbued with a unique dynamism and
sleek industrial surfaces and colors. They inevitably evoke continuous growth
in tension between form and ornament. Often seemingly strident, they interact
directly and emotionally with both the surrounding space and the viewer. These
are unquestionably works with a quite distinct dynamic. For Geertsen, there are
no rules or formal requirements, only assertions—and the
historical imperative that anything goes.
