Masaomi Yasunaga is a Japanese artist known for his experimental approach to ceramic sculpture. By prioritizing the material properties of glaze over the structural foundation of clay, he creates vessels that challenge conventional definitions of pottery and form.

His signature work involves a process where glaze is fired in sand, resulting in organic, often fragile-looking structures that emphasize the fluidity and transformation of the medium. These large-scale vessels often appear as if they are in a state of flux, blurring the lines between solid object and liquid residue.

Yasunaga has gained significant international recognition, with recent solo exhibitions at the ICA Miami and a featured presentation titled A Certain Trajectory in the Encounters sector of Art Basel Hong Kong 2026. His work is currently represented by galleries including Lisson Gallery and Nonaka-Hill.
