'VIVID' – JOKE RAES

Blurring bounderies between sculpting, drawing, and environment.

'VIVID' by Joke Raes is an immersive exploration of the dynamic relationship between art, nature, and human percep- tion. Drawing on organic forms and natural motifs, Raes creates tactile ceramics sculptures, large-scale installations that blur the boundaries between sculpture, drawing, and environment. The works in VIVID invite viewers into a contemplative space, revealing hidden layers of color, texture, and form while reflecting on humanity’s impact on natural ecosystems. Utilizing reappropriated materials and intuitive gestures, Raes constructs visual narratives that evoke both wonder and introspection.

Richly illustrated, VIVID captures the interplay of light, material, and organic shapes, offering readers an intimate encounter with Raes’ vision. An essay contextualizes her practice within contemporary environmental art, emphasizing her unique ability to harmonize human creativity with ecological awareness. VIVID is essential for colleagues in the world of ceramics, collectors, curators, and enthusiasts of contemporary art, sculpture, and ecological art.
