Okano Ricca 岡野里香
OKANO RICCA 岡野里香 is a ceramic artist based in Japan.Drawing inspiration from the woodland in the mountainous Karuizawa area, where she lives, Okano explores the interaction between her mind-scape and the natural elements. Her recent works are functional and decorative ceramic objects that feature a striking balance between abstract expression and physical practicality.
Each finished piece is highly original, with both painterly and sculptural quality, and full of sensory energy. The results often evoke viewer's original senses and connect strongly with their feelings, which makes her works much sought after internationally.
Okano will be visiting Brighton 12-14 May for two persimmons exhibition at Gallery 40.
