Super Future Kid on Painting, Ceramics, and Rejecting the Digital Label

In an interview with Catapult, Germany-based artist Super Future Kid discusses her move from New York back to her rural hometown, her shift into ceramics, and her insistence that her work is handmade, not digital. After leaving New York in 2024, she rebuilt her studio in a converted living room and discovered a ceramics class, leading to a full year without painting. She bought a kiln and focused on clay, presenting her first full ceramic body of work in the 2025 solo exhibition 'Dirt Spirits.' Now painting and ceramics run in parallel. She paints on raw canvas to emphasize brushmarks, drips, and the hand's presence, rejecting the 'digital' label often applied to her work. Her ceramic vessels use engobes, oxides, glazes, and gold lustre, with titles ranging from mythic ('Rapunzel') to casual ('Spilled my Cola'). She sees the vessels as carrying stories and the paintings as carrying the person, both speaking the same visual language. She cites influences including Rubi Neri, Joakim Ojanen, and En Iwamura. Her work is represented by Mindy Solomon Gallery (Miami), Over The Influence (LA/Bangkok/HK), and Gallery Poulsen (Copenhagen). Recent exhibitions include Mindy Solomon Gallery in 2025, Gana Art in Seoul in 2024, and Over The Influence in Bangkok in 2023.
