Windy Seascape (Kaze no kaikei)

Windy Seascape (Kaze no kaikei)

born 1947

Fukami Sueharu

Japanese

Entitled Windy Seascape (Kaze no kaikei), this breathtakingly beautiful porcelain sculpture suggests the windswept play of waves atop a choppy sea. Its silhouette is exquisite, with an elegant arc dipping down between razor-thin points at each end, all surfaces glazed a subtle, luminous pale blue. The sculpture is accompanied by a walnut-faced, weighted display stand that was designed and fabricated by the artist.

Molded porcelain with pale, sky-blue glaze (Chinese qingbai-type glaze); with signature reading "S. Fukami"; numbered 2/5

Heisei era, 1989-2019
