Tetsuo Harada Tetsuo Harada (原田 哲男 , Harada Tetsuo , born 25 August 1949, Niitsu, Niigata, Japan) is a Japanese artist based in France, well known for his monumental direct carving sculptures on granite and marble. In the 1990s he came to many recognition with his "Earth Weaving" theme, binding nations in fraternity with granite rings. He explored a wide universe of materials (wood, metal, bronze, resin, glass) and shapes but the themes of pacifism, Nature (earth), sexuality and fertility remain prevalent (some advocate his shinto influences). His sculptures can be seen around the world in private collections, museums and the streets as monumental public works, or ephemeral Land-art installations. His work is often linked to the one of Isamu Noguchi, Constantin Brâncuși, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore or the biomorphic aesthetic movement in general.
