Pleomorph (via nerikomi) 02
Abid Javed
Concept
Abid Javed merges shapes and storylines inspired by molecular biology with an exploration of the materiality in ceramics, creating a unique connection between science and art. Using the traditional Japanese technique of Nerikomi, Javed blends different types of clay and colors, resulting in pieces with new dimensions and perspectives. Through this fusion, he highlights the interaction between materials and evokes the changes and transformations that occur at the molecular level.

Trained in molecular biology, Abid Javed bases his pieces on an abstract and surreal approach, creating sculptural landscapes inspired by biology and its narratives. He explores concepts ranging from cells and molecules to biomorphism, integrating his cultural heritage with references to Islamic art, geometry and 20th century design. He mainly uses ceramics, which, combined with other materials, creates innovative pieces that are somewhere between sculpture and design.
