Internationally known for his abstract stone sculptures, Masayuki Koorida commonly works with granite or black or white marble. The artist’s works are directly carved and highly polished to a smooth finish. In this process, Koorida transforms the resistance and hardness of the material into a softness, alluding to organic changeability.

The elegant, elliptical shape of Form Twist, with its sensuously polished surface, invites gentle exploration and touch. Its reflective, curved black form creates a fascinating contrast with the colours and textures of the natural woodland setting.
