The works of Koos Buster illustrate the search for a certain “doltish perfection”. They often represent things otherwise trivial, but in the world of Koos Buster could, and maybe even should, also be celebrated. Whenever an idea pops up, he starts sketching. While those sketches are often only a first step into the process, ultimately leading to ceramic objects, he likes to regard them as potential finished works in and by themselves. Fully established within the sketching phase.
‘The innocence and messiness of a quick sketch has elements I like to see in a final piece of work as well.”
