Description
The brushstroke planter by contemporary ceramic artist Tomoko Sakai is born from a unique technique of layering white clay not by "painting" with a brush, but by "placing" it. The expressions of the brushstrokes created by this technique are all different, and the rough texture and strength of the clay stand out. Behind the three-dimensional shadows created by the brush, there quietly resides simplicity and gentleness, making it a planter that feels pleasant to hold.
This brushstroke planter is a valuable piece specially made by the artist for Rurbanism. Tomoko Sakai's planter works are rarely exhibited in solo shows, and opportunities to appear on the market are extremely limited, making them highly rare pieces.
At Rurbanism, we will continue to introduce a variety of works, including planters by Tomoko Sakai.
