Mari Ito

Traditional yet innovative, bold yet delicate, enormous yet minute: Mari Ito's work is founded in opposition and contrasts – and it is this that makes her pieces wholly unique and so much fun to look at. Stare at any one of her whimsical artworks and, soon enough, you'll be lost in a kaleidoscope of colours and shapes and find that countless hours have passed. Packed with minute detail, Ito's pieces lend themselves to scrutiny and examination. Each time you look at them afresh, you're guaranteed to find new details.
