Kenji Uranishi is a Japanese-born ceramic artist who relocated to Brisbane more than a decade ago bringing with him ancient Japanese ceramic techniques and a deep understanding and respect for the surrounding environment.
Inspired by his Japanese and Australian experiences, Uranishi’s delicate artistry draws on patterns and forms found in both the man-made and natural worlds and responds to their constant state of change.
In his newest body of work created especially for Museum of Brisbane, Uranishi has handcrafted a series of ceramic works inspired by the momentary interplay of light on the urban landscape.
