FLOATING BEARS
ceramic magic by
Hikari Masuda
We're are over the moon and down to the woods with excitement at our latest shipment from DEA's very special ceramicist, Hikari Masuda.
And to honour the Koalas and their endangered animal friends, we are donating 10% of profits from this exhibition to Aussie Ark.
welcome to
FLOATING BEARS
Be transported into the fantastical fairytale world of Hikari Masuda. From a self confessed lover of teddy bears, koalas and kokeshi, Hikari's work is endlessly inventive - a playful, porcelain parade of masterfully rendered ceramic whimsy.
about
HIKARI MASUDA
How does one begin to describe the work of Hikari?
We first stumbled across her work in the back streets of Daikanyama, Tokyo. It was one of her iconic kokeshi sake jugs, and as we gazed at it in wonder, we felt lost and speechless for quite some time.
The charm of her folkloric aesthetic is undeniable. Whether hand built or cast, then delightfully decorated, her work transports one to a world of innocent fairytales and fun - and therein lies her genius. Each piece feels completely joyful, and her painterly expression adorns each work with such clear-eyed application, that you cannot help but fall in love.
We feel her work is such a strong part of DEA, because we want to have fun, and we want you to have fun too!
"Hikari" means "light" in Japanese, which couldn't be more perfect, as this is what she brings into everyone's world through her incredible artistry and unique vision.
