Dogwood Flower

2019

Sugiura Yasuyoshi

Japanese, born 1949

Asian Art

With great attention to detail and form, Sugiura Yasuyoshi sculpted the leafy sepals, pink-tipped petals, and delicate blossoms of this oversize kousa dogwood flower. The bloom is known for its delicate yet tough appearance, a contrast that Yasuyoshi captures through a combination of shapes, textures, and glazes. The artist’s meticulous enlargements of flora reveal a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature and the possibilities of ceramics.
