Lisa Larson is a Swedish ceramist who is especially popular in Japan. Her well-known warm and friendly animal forms have been produced in Gustavsberg. Alongside her design work, Lisa has always experimented with her own unique ceramics, creating abstractly decorated vessels and human sculptures that convey both her sense of humor and a deeper, more somber, side. The Japanese public has great interest in her works and is also fascinated by her lifestyle and energy. She is now continuing to create works even at the age of 88. In this exhibition, we focus on introducing various cultures in the world and the artists around Lisa Larson that she encountered during her creation together with her imaginative works cultivated and influenced by them. About 200 works by Lisa Larson from her beginning to the recent years and also about 20 works by the other artists like Stig Lindberg representing Scandinavian art are exhibited. Through the exhibition, we can follow Lisa Larson’s “Journey through Time” and explore the charm of her works full of gentleness.
