Haruki Ohno

Born in Saitama, in 1992. He completed his Master’s Program at the Sculpture Course, Fine Arts Course, Musashino Art University in 2017. His main solo exhibition includes “Serve” (Fujimidai Tunnel, Tokyo, 2023), “Masonry” (WALLA, Tokyo, 2022).

Artist Statement
I have been creating work with the intention of archiving, in sculptural form, something like the “faith” I have cultivated day by day living in Japan — a country where religious events and customs of all kinds intermingle.
The act of making and presenting something in the society feels continuous with other acts that nourish a certain spirituality and curiosity: visiting shrines and temples, seeking good fortune through images of treasure ships or auspicious symbols, tending graves, or enjoying fortune-telling and spiritual entertainment.
My motifs range without fixed consistency — from things associated with “water” in folklore, to human figures, insects, and still-life objects like tableware, — yet I hope that, gathered in the same space, they bear witness to my own small, personal faith.
