Urara Tsuchiya (b. 1979 in Japan) works across a range of media, including performance, book works, video and sculpture. ‘Hog Roast’ is typical of the artist’s surreal ceramic practice in which scenes of hedonism, sex, orgies and animals collide in a strange thought-provoking world.

Tsuchiya received her Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art from Goldsmiths in 2007 and a Master of Fine Art from the Glasgow School of Art in 2012. She lives and works in Glasgow.

Recent solo exhibitions include ‘Urara Tsuchiya’, Trade Gallery, Nottingham (2017); ‘Amazing girls/ It’s complicated’, Kevin Space, Vienna (2017); ‘Room Service’, Union Pacific, London (2016); and ‘Connoisseurs world’, Queen’s Park Railway Club, Glasgow, Scotland (2015). Group exhibitions include Glasgow international (2018); ‘If you can‘t stand the heat’, Roaming Projects London (2018); and ‘LIT’, Union Pacific, London (2017).
