gréta Jonckheere
Born in Belgium, Gréta discovered clay at the age of 11 and since that day, clay became her universe.
It was in the attic of her parents’ farmhouse in Belgium that Gréta started to explore the world of ceramics. Her family moved to Québec and shortly after Gréta visited the 1001 pots ceramic exhibit in Val-David and made a note that one day she would be part of this artistic community.
She enrolled in private ceramic courses to pursue her dream, working non-stop to produce and refine her art. In 2017, she designed and built her dream home-studio along the water in the artistic community of Morin-Heights in the Laurentians Québec. The natural world surrounding her studio provide her with a calm peaceful and creative environment where she continues to create her collections.
In her collection “White and Black”, the artist works with white porcelain delicately and with precision to capture the beauty of the light shining through the material. “When I work, I enter into dialogue with the material: clay. It resonates, full of emotions.
I love ceramics and pottery. I discovered Gréta’s work when I was visiting a design store in St-Sauveur in the Laurentians. I feel in love with her work and purchased three pieces. I had to discover who she was as I knew that one day I would show her work in our gallery so I went on a mission to find her and here she is in our gallery. So happy to have her beautiful work and to know this wonderful Canadian artist.

MOUVEMENT EN CERCLE COLLECTION.
During the creation of my collection ‘blanc et noir’, a fragment of porcelain, folded in an unexpected way under my fingers, opened the way to a new artistic
exploration. This moment inspired me to transform what might be perceived as ‘waste’ or ‘leftovers’ into central elements of my paintings. Each piece of porcelain,
sometimes enhanced with touches of black or gold, is carefully recovered to create unique compositions. Spontaneity guides my creative process, where I let myself
be carried away by the unpredictable to create works where chance and intention mix.
The collection Mouvement en Cercle stands out as a set of large bowls that transcend the utilitarian function to become table sculptures, inviting contemplation
and wonder. What makes these pieces particularly fascinating is their unpredictable nature since during the firing process, the porcelain can deform, giving rise to shapes that fall
short of perfect roundness. Each bowl thus tells a unique story, a dialogue between material and fire, a dance between art and the unexpected.
