“A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.”
― Salvador Dali

Fuku Fukumoto is one of the second generation female artisans and ceramists which is changing the contemporary scene in Japan.

Coming from a strong lineage of textile artists, Fukumoto sought to craft her own path - in clay and ceramics.

Each one of her pieces is evocative of nature. You won't find straight lines in her pieces, but instead beautiful, sweeping curves which all serve to elevate her pieces and her style.

Stay tuned as we prepare to bring Fukumoto's pieces into the AR sphere!

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

Vincent Van Gogh

Here at Artz Frontier, we believe every piece of art has a story, and a home it belongs in.

Every piece is an extension of an artist's story, style, and vision. And we want to provide opportunities for these wonderful pieces of art to be owned and appreciated by collectors.

We're constantly expanding the ways our customers engage with art, and finding new ways to showcase said art within your homes and spaces.

Meet Muthumi Takayanagi, an experienced Japanese pottery artist, having worked with the medium even before her first showing at the Takashimaya Kyoto Store in Kyoto Japan in 2009.

Her pieces are evocative of seasons, life activities, and customs.

Like her work, the launch of Artz Frontier is the beginning of a new cycle of resurgence of fine arts within global markets and homes, as well as the exposure of home grown and Asian influences into the wider world.

Check out some of her pieces below and stay tuned as we'll be releasing her pieces in AR soon!

Remember the days of browsing the art galleries, wondering if the piece would look nice in your house, or match your decor? Worried that the piece you're about to buy won't match, or you'd have to come all the way out again to get it after checking.

Wonder no more as we are pleased to introduce to the world a new way to expand the culture of your living spaces - through digital space!

Follow along as we introduce to you Artz Frontier, and how we're redefining art.

Clay can be dirt in the wrong hands, but clay can be art in the right hands.

She uses paper and cloth in the production process to create very thin film-like porcelain works. Despite the fact that the paper and cloth as her support have been burned down, she remains on top of her work as a texture. It is a form of memory, a trace of the existence of paper or cloth that rises when it is lost after firing. She is interested in the minimal materiality that emerges by scraping off the weight as much as possible from the material of soil, and is working on the production in search of something that makes space and time foreground while being an object.
