Chloé Peytermann

CHLOÉ PEYTERMANN captures human moments and connections in the form of enchanting ceramic figurines. These figures hint at humanity, but are never fully identifiable as man, animal, object, or something in between. Yet, they are embodiments of uniquely human emotions; moments of tenderness, doubt, strangeness, and promise become frozen in the firing of her beautiful enamelwork. Often vaguely anthropomorphic, the figures are still, silent, and at times seemingly stuck, as if waiting for something, the zenith of the moment so whimsically captured. Her figures are born, chimerical and often quickly modeled, as fruits of inspired, intuitive gesture. Peytermann creates works in search of fleeting emotions and indescribable feelings that she best expresses through form.
