John Paul Brammer has decided to feature Shinichi Sawada in a recent short substack article, to which the studio and I are grateful. You can read the piece below by clicking on the link. He is mainly sharing about Sawada’s process and where he came across the work.

“This month, I’m writing about a subject that’s fascinated me for some years now: Japanese artist Shinichi Sawada, and the concept of “outsider art. They’re among my favorite ceramic works. I encountered his work while watching a BBC documentary on YouTube called Turning the Art World Inside Out, which originally aired in 2013 and was hosted by Alan Yentob. The documentary casts its eye on several artists that, together, represent a controversial genre known as ‘outsider art.’”
