Beautiful Original Peruvian Ceramic Dish By Carlos Runcie Tanaka. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.Carlos Runcie-Tanaka is an artist with superb artistic skills, compelling visual insights and a profoundly spiritual sense of mystery. He was born in Lima, Peru; his heritage is Peruvian, Japanese and English. Lima is the multi-cultural capital of Peru on the Pacific coast of South America. With over eight million inhabitants, Peru’s demographic consists of Indigenous people, Europeans, Americans and Afro-Peruvians. The predominant population are the Mestizos – they are of mixed blood of European and Indigenous ancestry. This cultural diversity is important to issues of personal and ethnic identity in all of contemporary art. Tanaka is engaged in integrating his various sources and influences. His artwork presents contemporary universal symbols of interethnic unity. He has absorbed the lessons of traditional pottery and pioneered an approach that goes beyond obvious or direct references to traditional Peruvian, Japanese and European art. As a result, Tanaka’s works also bring the strands of his identity together with ancient mysteries that have a powerful contemporary resonance.
