With higher education in visual arts acquired in France at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg and Great Britain, at the Camberwell College of Arts in London, Claire Lindner has established herself today as an essential figure in contemporary artistic ceramics.
Her sculptures, constructed by assembling, knotting and twisting coil-shaped elements of soft clay, feature pastel colors and wavy curves that give the impression of being in motion. Living forms, whether animal, plant, micro-particle or human, are omnipresent in Claire Lindner's work.
