Description

Born in 1984, Chisato Yasui is a ceramic and mixed media artist. She graduated from the University of Tsukuba with a Master’s degree in Art and Design in 2010, where she currently resides. She is one of the few women ceramists in Japan and has been selected to participate in the Woman’s Association of Ceramic Art exhibition in 2021, which aims to include the work of women ceramists in the Kyoto Museum collection.
Indeed, it was not until the Second World War that Japanese women artists were able to practice ceramics and receive training. Since then, they have occupied a prominent place in this field.

Chisato Yasui works with the process of “coil forming” (hand building), which is a method of forming ceramic. This allows the axis of a shape to be shifted during the process of creation, to cut and separate a shape into two or three or more, but also to combine completely different shapes, and to reverse the top and bottom.

The artist proposes spontaneous works as materializations of intangible concepts such as harmony or interconnection. According to Chisato Yasui, the artwork can exist to connect different things. For example, connecting the everyday to the extraordinary, oneself to others, the subconscious to the conscious.
Exhibited for the first time in Paris, Chisato Yasui has nevertheless participated in nearly twenty exhibitions in Japan, as well as in Australia and the United Kingdom.
