Barbara Nanning

Barbara Nanning is perfectly described as an artist that never ceases to surprise with the ability to combine contradictory elements in a manner to present a seamless artform. From 1974 to 1979, she attended Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Ceramic department, in Amsterdam (NL) and later studied at Rijksacademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Monumental department. Barbara’s sculpting gained momentum in 1988 when she began constructing composting forms out of cut-up cylinders. Ub 1994, she began adding glass to her repertoire- the material in which she would eventually come to focus exclusively. Her work is a fascinating mix of unequal quantities resulting in simplicity rather than complexity. A fusion of carefully chosen and sometimes seemingly conflicting elements that ultimately appear so obvious that no-one can be surprised by the unconventional combination of elements.
