Since then, he has worked in commercial art, and currently works as a metal artist in a studio in Yamaguchi Prefecture. He mainly makes lighting, flower vases, tea utensils, and objects made of iron. The artist has held group and solo exhibitions at galleries throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHe is perhaps most well known for his iron works. Oyama’s work explores the beauty and properties of iron and is inspired by the lush nature that surrounds his home in Kumage, Japan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOyama was first introduced to iron work after being commissioned to create a 3D metalwork piece; he was so mesmerised by the beauty and potential of iron that he has not stopped working with it since.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHis practice continues to evolve as he experiments with the material, attempting to understand its properties more deeply. Because the properties of iron – the way it rusts, melts and bends – will never change, Oyama has described how he must therefore keep an open mind to change his perception of the material rather than vice versa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOyama is able to create works which feel soft and polished, rather than heavy, industrial or cold as iron is often thought to be.

Ozawa works with black clay from Tokomame, but combines it with the traditional glaze, Chara, to create his unique style which is comparable to abstract drawing. The organic texture of his designs is enhanced by the application of white soil and results in the ‘imperfect’ appearance that Ozawa desires and which allows his ceramics to continually evolve through daily use. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tetsuya Ozawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54909858185589,"sku":"TO25-1","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0233\/5583\/files\/Dhcrv.jpg?v=1736954458"},{"product_id":"yukico-yamada-flower-vase-a18","title":"Yukico Yamada Sculptural Vase A18","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W 18.5cm x L 15.5cm x H 27cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e S\u003cspan\u003eandstone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethod: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand built, carved, lightly glazed and fired in an electric kiln.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFunctional, hand wash and dry after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBold brutalist forms meet the quiet elegance of Japanese craftsmanship.
