This piece is from Kayo O'Young’s Cobalt Black Series, created in 2026.
Cobalt is a very expensive mineral, but when fired in a reduction atmosphere, it produces a distinctive black color. By using this unique black glaze, Kayo has created a work with a quiet and modern presence.
A glossy black glaze drawing has been applied over the matte black surface, adding another layer of refinement and sophistication to the piece.
