* The Poor Man's Gold / Joost van Bleiswijk

The Poor Man’s Gold by Joost van Bleiswijk refers back to the trade missions of the Dutch East India Company, which generally departed from Enkhuizen. His scratched ceramic objects represent the occasionally hard life aboard these ships.

Joost van Bleiswijk (1976) graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven with his ‘outlines’ series in 2001. At the moment, he is working primarily on an own collection that is characterized by his ‘no glue, no screw’ approach. His work is sold and exhibited in galleries all over the world. www.joostvanbleiswijk.com
