Beschreibung

A tropical fruit that will live forever. This objet d’art by Alyne Ohigashi imaginatively draws on natural forms and her knowledge of botany to create a fantastical botanical sculpture. Its texture is inspired by a fruit; it might also be likened to the ridges of a cactus, crowned by a flower reaching for the sun—an intriguing combination that rewards repeated viewing. 

Sculpted out of Tobe porcelain—difficult to work with for such a detailed art piece—every single ridge is individually crafted and applied by hand, giving the piece a naturally organic rhythm. The coral red glaze flows across each dip and cranny, further accentuating the texture. A surprising contrast of blue ripples down like water, juice, or sap, adding to the sense of life. The piece’s interplay of light and shadow invites viewing in every kind of light.

Exploring new possibilities in Tobe ware, Ohigashi remains true to the materials of the craft while adding her own innovations. Drawing on botanical shapes and marine hues familiar to her from a childhood spent in the Philippines, Ohigashi skillfully unifies her two homelands. The result feels both nostalgic and new, familiar and strange, an intriguing ambiguity that encourages the viewer to create their own meaning.

Just like a real plant, this piece encourages an emotional bond with its caretaker. Every single ridge and curve is unique, reflecting both the symmetry and variation alive in the natural world. Not only beautiful but a delight to touch, this work brings a lively presence to a foyer, centerpiece, or desk, inviting in turns conversation and quiet reflection. It is a playful symphony of imagination, a rhythmic ode to nature.

About Artist

Alyne Ohigashi

Ohigashi Alyne arbeitet mit dem traditionsreichen Handwerk der Tobe-Porzellanherstellung und verleiht diesem jahrhundertealten Medium ihre einzigartige Stimme. Indem sie traditionelle Techniken mit ihren eigenen, unverwechselbaren Designs und Glasurstilen kombiniert, verwandelt sie die makellos weißen Oberflächen des Tobe-Porzellans in Leinwände für ihre leuchtenden Farben und Texturen.

Ohigashi verfügt über einen Hintergrund in der Agrarforschung und ist ein Meister der botanischen und natürlichen Motive und Formen. Durch die Kombination aus Intuition und tiefem Verständnis für Technik und Materialien fertigt sie Keramikskulpturen und Kunstobjekte, die den Horizont und die Möglichkeiten von Tobe-Ware als Medium erweitern.
