Astrid Specht Seeberg (b. 1999)

“Purple Barrel Sponge”, 2023. Signed ASS 2023. Glazed stoneware. 30×23×23 cm.

The danish artist Astrid Specht Seeberg (b. 1999) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. She is a self-taught sculptor with a background in ceramics. She quickly gained recognition for her artistic practice and was awarded the Carl Nielsen Foundation's Talent Prize in 2022. Her artistic practice is deeply connected to the aquatic environment. Her large ceramic sculptures draw inspiration from creatures evolved from water, and she portrays them figuratively. Her abstract and expressive works often feature organic shapes and textures. Bubbles, lamellae, animal depictions, and an almost musical progression are recurring elements. In her practice Seeberg embraces a raw and improvisational approach, emphasizing breaking with ceramic norms and her own abilities. As a result, her works are constantly evolving and never appear the same. In Seeberg's works, fish are not just fish, and clay is not just clay. It is a connection with the elements that can represent the cycle of life, where nature is understood as a larger universal consciousness.
