Galerie Vriend van Bavink will present a solo booth with works by Koos Buster. Buster has played an important role in the growing popularity of ceramics in the Netherlands. The booth will include colourful spatial works as well as works on the wall. Buster honours and preserves everyday objects by turning them into cheerful ceramic artworks. From an ATM to a gumball machine, a cleaning cart or a power socket, all of these objects are transformed into his distinctive visual style. Ceramics are both precious and historically rich. Buster loves the fragile nature of the material: it is durable and will last indefinitely if left untouched, but it can break easily—something that serves as a metaphor for the transitory nature of life. This year the artist participated in several museum exhibitions, amongst which a solo show at Museum MORE.
