Horse

Suzuki Osamu Japanese

Not on view

This minimalist, abstract reference to a horse is a purely sculptural ceramic, combining crisp edges and curvilinear shapes. A high-fired porcelain work, it is covered with a light bluish-white (seihakuji) celadon glaze. Suzuki’s works are often gentle compositions inspired by animals such as horses and birds, or natural phenomena such as the wind and clouds, which are expressed in sharp, creative sculptural forms.
