Artist Statement
Using ceramic earthenware as his preferred medium, Ruan Hoffmann chooses familiar
objects such as plates, containers and tiles as his canvases, however the resulting works are
not presented as homey pieces emanating from the domestic sphere but as wilful,
irregular and misshapen forms on which the artist’s unedited observations on life’s
experiences flow in constant, noisy glimpses of thought.

Artist Profile
Born: 1971
Hometown: South-Africa
Based in: Netherlands
Using ceramic earthenware as his preferred medium, Hoffmann molds familiar objects such as plates, containers and tiles into willful, irregular and misshapen forms. Adorning the plates with a vast array of images and text that can be unapologetically political and confrontational, the work expresses the artist’s unedited observations on life’s experiences.
Widely exhibited, Hoffmann’s works are also in a number of international collections including the South African National Gallery, The Frans Masereel Centrum, Belgium and the Museo De Arte Moderno, Dominican Republic and has also been subject to collaborations with Apple and many more.
