GUZO - OCEAN

In 2021 Haroshi transformed the distinct stylings of his carved wooden characters into stone for the first time. In 2022, his triumphant figure returns in mystical blue Sodalite.

The natural veining of the mineral stone creates unique intricacies in each sculpture, no two the same, and lends a weightiness to GUZO unprecedented in the artist’s woodwork. Stylistically minimal, carved facial features animate the stone to endearing effect – playfully contrasting with the ancient material they’re set within.

Launched alongside GUZO - FOREST, the two new sculptures represent the final additions to a four-part GUZO ensemble.
