Atsushi Ogata Black Ground Brush Stroke Planter

Diameter (φ) 110mm × Height (h) 75mm Mouth Diameter 100mm

This is a black ground brush stroke planter created by contemporary ceramic artist Atsushi Ogata.

Born in Tokyo in 1960. He is currently based in Uda City, Nara Prefecture, and continues to create using techniques such as "karatsu" and brush strokes, while harnessing the strength of raw clay rich in iron content. The pieces fired in a wood kiln possess a certain presence within their tranquility, bringing depth and tension not only to the plants but also to the space they occupy.

This piece is a black ground brush stroke planter created by swiftly applying white slip with a brush onto a body shaped from black clay. The dynamic traces of the brush carve a strong rhythm into the surface of the piece, showcasing a unique presence with no two pieces sharing the same expression.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece specially made for Rurbanism, and since Atsushi Ogata's planter works rarely circulate in the market, it can be considered a highly rare work.

The quiet vitality of the brush stroke vessels by Atsushi Ogata.

Please enjoy it as a small art piece that fits in the palm of your hand, living together with plants in your daily life.
