Terrence Higgins Trust, The Timed Auction 2021

Susan Nemeth studied in Birmingham and Wolverhampton before joining the Royal College of Art in London and works mainly with ceramics and porcelain.

Nemeth is interested in how individuality is expressed in an object and the way hand-making humanises it. She uses digitally printed ceramic transfers, together with glaze and gold leaf to allude to the porcelain’s history. The sources for the still lives include the distorted, decaying, bawdy fruits of Luis Meléndez, the compositions of Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin and the painterly qualities of Paul Gauguin.
