Judith Heinsohn

Judith Heinsohn (Hamburg, 1967) moved from Germany to Amsterdam in 1987 and studied scuplture at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy from 1988 to 1994. She was a guest teacher at the Rietveld Academy in 1995 and 2013. Since 1993 she exhibited regularly in the Netherlands with renowned institutions and took part in a variety of international projects.

She has worked on a large scale with industrial ceramics and all of here work has a monumental appearance. Her work shows a wide variety of ceramic methods that come forth from an unwavering need for experiment.

Her figuration shows battered human figures, but there is always a deeply felt human identity behind the apparent rough skin. Some of her work is not far removed from the German neo-expressionists like Markus Lupertz, but the refined quality of Heinsohn's work easily competes with it.
