Japanese artist Harumi Nakashima creates free-form ceramic sculptures that feature organic, yet psychedelic characteristics. Nakashima, mostly known for beautifully-structured, odd geometric shapes embellished with iconic polkadots, works with a level of intricacy that demonstrates the artist’s attention to detail.
Harumi says: “Now I prefer to work ceramics to express the pain that lies within every human being.” “I find myself when working with ceramics, and my suffering transforms as I develop my creations, to finally reveal a sculptural form”
A contemporary aesthetic and subtle, refined references to traditional Japanese pottery allow the works to be perceived aesthetically rather than functionally.
