Since 20 years Anne des Brugassières and Johannes Beccer are working and living together – first in Germany, nowadays in France. Both were shaping clay in their early producing in the eighties. Johannes supervised a ceramic factory near the dutch frontier , Anne finished her education as ceramist in Krefeld / NRW. Both did „Ceramic-Design“ – studies at the Fachhochschule Niederrhein, but while Johannes listened already 1970 – 72 to Joseph Beuys in „Kunstakademie Düsseldorf“, Anne started her professional life in Musicmanagement in Berlin. The virtuosic handling of the chainsaw refines since 20 years and through this technique her sculptures and paintings are born. Often they are rich couloured, stricly they are figurative convincing close to prosaicness. Those rough wooden fruits are confronted to fire, brushing and pigment application to be what they are: mostly colourfull counterparts. Johannes fill up the width – he dominates Wood, Steel and Stone, Bronze and Beton. Today deep thursty black, tomorrow triumphantly couloured. His sculptures are mostly tight and erectly, in most cases figurative. The human being receives elevation – all destructive power of human nature is generally thwarted. Anne and Johannes are moving free and independent in the european area. They show their work often in one-week-events favoured in interaktion with architecture and design. All over the year you might see their work in Cologne, Design Post. The exhibiton is named „Philoxenie“. Sculptures of stone and steel, bronze and wood, paintings and wooden paintings are shown.
