Miwa Neishi (b. 1990) is a Japanese-American artist. Neishi was born in Tokyo, Japan, studied sculpture at Niigata University where she earned her BFA in 2013, and in 2016 earned her MFA in Sculpture from Kent State University in Ohio.[1]
The artist works primarily in three-dimensions, and her hand-built sculptural works draw inspiration from abstract expressionism, prehistoric clay figures, and Japanese calligraphy.[2] Neishi has drawn inspiration from both contemporary and traditional Japanese art, such as her “Moji pots,” a series of sculptural vases based on joining prehistoric figurines (Jōmon period) and modern abstract designs.[3] Her Ceramic art works are often functional, as is the case of her vases that recall ancient Japanese Jomon vessels.[4] She has been inspired by Japanese product design and industrial design as well as fine art, influenced by the mixture of ‘high’ and ‘low’ art.[5]
Neishi has exhibited and sold her work in both the U.S. and Japan. Currently, she works at Sculpture Space NYC in Long Island City and lives in Queens, New York.[6]
