Kyoto-born Morino Taimei 森野泰明 (b. 1934)’s repertoire consists of colorful, polychrome geometric motifs that translate traditional Kyoto glaze methods into contemporary mediums. Influenced by American Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism in the 1960s, his work follows the tenets of rejecting traditional folk-craft forms observed by the avant-garde group Sodeisha. His works have been collected extensively in museum collections, such as that of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Victoria and Albert Museum, Seoul Metropolitan Museum of Art, Musee des Decoratifs and many others.
