Abid Javed

Abid Javed is a research scientist and ceramic artist who lives and works in Hackney, east London.

He combines his two passions of science and ceramics to create impressive sculptural forms inspired by molecular biology.

Predominantly he draws visual influence from his chosen field of study, often reimagining internal cells and molecules as tactile clay objects.

These structures are then combined with ornate Arabic symbolism and script stemming from the artist’s culturally-rich heritage, resulting in an unlikely yet beautiful pairing.
