In the tradition of American Pop Art, celebrated ceramic artist Matsuda Yuriko's whimsical works transform familiar, everyday objects into colorful flights of imagination. In her creations, traditional materials like porcelain and enamel glaze undergo a remarkable metamorphosis into imaginative forms. Her use of everyday objects as central subjects in her eccentric works has a transformative effect. She is inspired by textile patterns and modes of decoration- exploring the potential that 2 dimensional modes of expression on clay surfaces offers.
This unique quality draws viewers into the artwork, compelling them to delve deeper. Matsuda draws inspiration from the vibrant, unnatural colors employed by the French artist Henri Matisse in his paintings. Nevertheless, Matsuda's work maintains its profound originality, fueled by an innate enthusiasm for the mundane aspects of everyday life.
