Joke Raes worked in the theatre for several years as a designer and performer but she gradually found her place in the visual arts following an under-water exhibition in the Red Sea and a residency among indigenous people living deep inside the Peruvian Amazon. As laureate of the Higher Institute of Fine Arts (HISK) in Ghent she frequently exhibits in Belgium and abroad. In 2017 Raes realised her first big public art works at the hospital Az Alma Eeklo.
In the Summer of 2017 she developed ceramic works during an artist residence sundaymorning@ekwc in the Nederlands. In 2018 she worked in the Creative resideny in Arita Saga Japan. The results you could see in Tokyo, Kyoto Art center and Van Abbemuseum. Afterthat experience she realized another public Artwork in CC Destelheide. Recently you could see her works at the Whitehouse gallery, Poortersloge and Pre-triennal Bruges, Franzis Engels gallery, Verduyn, DMW gallery, Eva Steynen.Deviation(s) and Brussels Ceramic.
