<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renate Frotscher <\/strong>is a ceramic artist who works with hand built forms and textured surfaces to counter the polished, corrected world she knew from digital design. After years in environments where everything could be adjusted, filtered or perfected, she turned to clay to bring back friction, texture and physical presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic Approach<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Her sculptures draw on Baroque and Rococo vocabulary. She rebuilds these familiar forms through gesture instead of traditional decorative methods. Curls, leaves and floral structures are shaped with her fingertips and palms. The pressure marks, ridges and irregularities remain visible, giving the work a rough, volcanic quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This approach turns ornament into a record of movement and touch. It makes the act of making part of the final form, rather than something hidden or corrected afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is a sculptural language where elegance and raw material meet. Texture and gesture remain fully present in the final surface, never polished away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before focusing on ceramics, Renate worked for many years in digital design, earning several international awards. This experience informs her interest in tactility, texture and visible gesture. She is based in France, where she develops her sculptural work in stoneware and porcelain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I create hand-built sculptural vessels using the coil technique, working mainly with stoneware and porcelain. My pieces explore contrast\u2014combining rough and refined elements, floral motifs, and asymmetrical forms.<\/p>\n

Surfaces are treated with engobes, oxides, and partially applied glazes, many of which are developed in my studio.
