Arjan is fascinated by the vibrant colours of Imperial court porcelain. To give it a contemporary translation he wedges pigments in the white porcelain in a variety of colour depths. His background as an engineer and ethicist echoes through in his ceramic work, that is clear and balanced. He throws on the potter’s wheel and searches for the crossline between design and craft. It is this tension between the handmade nature of his making process and the almost industrial manufactured outlook, that fascinates him. Subtle details reveal the maker’s marks, such as throwing lines inside the pots that become a testimony of the making process. The result is work that through simplicity of form and austere handling of material communicates honesty with a refined touch.

The Own Art Scheme is an interest-free loan scheme set up by the Arts Council that is designed to make it affordable for everyone to buy original, high quality contemporary art and craft by letting you spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months.
You can choose any work with a retail price between £250 and £25,000 from our great selection of prints, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, glass and wood. It is not possible to buy gift vouchers with the Own Art Scheme.
You can borrow from as little as £250 up to a maximum of £25,000 . We then spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months with an interest free loan. For instance, if you buy a painting from us that costs £300 through the own art scheme, you would pay £30 in 10 monthly installments.
