Tetsuo Harada (原田 哲男, Harada Tetsuo, born 25 August 1949, Niitsu, Niigata, Japan) is a Japanese-French 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.
