| Artist's Statement: | |
| Regina Heinz's pieces display an organic and sensual quality, but are essentially abstract, dealing with form, volume, line and colour. Soft slabs of clay are bent, manipulated and joined with mathematical sensibility to create precise but playful forms that are informed and inspired both by the mountainous landscapes of her native Austria and the urban geometry of the big city. "It is this tension between the hard and soft, the architectural and the organic, the abstract and the natural, which animates my work", Heinz comments. Geometric designs are incised and brushed on in vibrant ceramic colours to emphasise the underlying forms and to add depth and intensity to the coloured surface. Regina Heinz creates contemporary ceramic sculptures and wall panels that enhance both cooperate environments and private modern living spaces. | |
