Изложбата „Good and Bad Omen“ е медитация върху случайността, крехкостта и трансформацията. В основата ѝ е серията „Pochades“: порцеланови кръгове, които някога са били само опори в процеса на изпичане, а сега са трансформирани в самостоятелни творби. Претворени от отпадъци, те олицетворяват цикъл от края и началото, от загубени и разкрити неща.
Всяко глазирано движение е скок в неизвестното – понякога светло, понякога раздробено. Случайностите се превръщат в откровения, а резултатите се появяват като паралелни вселени: знаци за късмет или нещастие, красота или разрив.

Good and Bad Omen is a meditation on chance, fragility, and transformation. At its core is the series Pochades: porcelain circles, once only supports in the firing process, now claimed as works in their own right. Elevated from waste, they embody a cycle of endings and beginnings, of things lost and things revealed.
Each glazed gesture is a leap into the unknown—sometimes luminous, sometimes fractured. Accidents become revelations, and outcomes emerge like parallel universes: omens of fortune or misfortune, beauty or rupture.
Here, porcelain ceases to be a silent material. It speaks, insists, and becomes the subject itself. In bridging the physicality of glazed ceramic with the picturality of painting, Good and Bad Omen invites viewers to reflect on how creation is always balanced on the edge of failure and grace.
Nicolas H. Muller is a sculptor and visual artist whose practice unfolds at the intersection of material memory, collective gesture, and the poetic possibilities of transformation. A graduate of Villa Arson in Nice and the Kaolin postgraduate program at ENSA Limoges, Muller has developed his work across France, Austria, Italy, and China, participating in numerous residencies, exhibitions, and artistic collaborations.
His approach is rooted in a sensitive and experimental engagement with materials—porcelain, concrete, found objects—treating accident, transmission, and impermanence not as obstacles but as generative forces. Muller’s works invite a dialogue between heritage and innovation, privileging attentive listening to the material and its histories while opening space for collective exchange. Each piece emerges as a site where memory, technique, and the contingencies of process converge, questioning both the place of the artwork within the environment and its potential for use or sharing.
Present in several public collections, Muller’s oeuvre weaves together inherited craft, contemporary experiment, and an openness to encounter—creating works that are at once sensitive and conceptual, inviting the viewer into a subtle dialogue between individual and collective experience.
