Aman Khanna, the creative force behind the symbolic ceramic sculptures known as Claymen, operates a studio in New Delhi where he and his team handcraft these emotive figures. Each Claymen sculpture exudes a sense of introspection and universality, transcending gender boundaries to capture the essence of the human condition.
Khanna’s fascination with human psychology is evident in his minimalist approach to sculpting. The refined and unembellished heads of the Claymen serve as a vessel for thoughts, emotions, and the face—a crucial aspect of human connection and recognition.
In his recent works, Khanna has expanded the functionality of his sculptures. Pieces like the “Headrest” stool series serve not only as seating but also as a metaphor for pausing and relieving the burdens of modern life. Other creations, such as the “Split Head Light and Table,” the vases in the “Blob Set,” and the “Super Moon Lamps,” seamlessly blend practicality with aesthetic appeal.
