Brandalarm | Fire alarm

Koos Buster (1991) zorgde de afgelopen jaren voor een keramiekrenaissance in Nederland. In 2022 presenteerde hij als zelf benoemd Minister van keramische zaken bij Gallery Vriend van Bavink de expositie “The ministry of Ceramic Affairs”.

An ATM machine, cleaning utensils, cigarette buds, a water cooler; the subject matter of Koos Buster's (NL) ceramics may seem a bit trivial at times, but there is definitely a logic to them. Buster has a soft spot for things that go unnoticed or are about to disappear. Reproducing them in a durable medium like ceramics gives them an aura of importance and a much longer lease on life. He also likes to create things that make people happy, and somehow, this is the exact result his intentionally ham-handed sculptures have. Meanwhile, it takes quite a lot of skill to make things look this clumsy.
