You will see by Anders Ruhwald, 2011

Anders Herwald Ruhwald (b. 1974, Randers, Denmark[1]) is a Danish American sculptor based in Chicago. He works primarily in clay, a medium he has been drawn to since he was 15[2]. Ruhwald’s work blends references from functional objects to classical sculpture and can take the form of singular objects[3] as well as immersive installations[4].

Central to Ruhwalds work is the idea that “the messy practicality of objects is something to be embraced and not occluded[5]” and his work can be understood as an amalgamation of both art and design without giving regard to the hierarchies normally assigned to these[6][7][8]. Instead Ruhwalds work implies that “subjectivity arises.. in the perception of differences, one that is both durational and spatially determined[5]”. Ruhwalds work is rooted “the 20th century Scandinavian tradition of the Formgiver in which the artisan compensates for modernity and our enigmatic dissatisfaction with it[6]”. His work is often highly crafted and a large part of his practice is dedicated to material experimentation and surface development[9] and as a result Glenn Adamson has noted that “for all their compressed particularity, [his] sculptures are also enlivened by inexhaustible nuance. Ruhwald takes seriously the idea that surface is where form interfaces with spatial context, so his surfaces have an intensity in all registers[10]”.

Solo presentations of Ruhwald’s work have been mounted at Indianapolis Museum of Art[11]; Casa Museo Jorn[12], Italy;
