Approaches to contemporary art started in the 20th century in the production of ceramics, which has been continuing since prehistoric times. Some forms/works in search of aesthetic concern and artistic purpose started to be produced increasingly with the ceramic material produced which the religious ceramics, figurative figurines, and food-drink-storage containers had been being produced at the beginning. In our age, many kinds of original ceramic works have been produced which express a certain concept/idea and internalize/interpret the beings in nature, or simply reveal the artist's feelings/ideas, mostly in artistic terms. The concept of biomorphism has become an important source of inspiration for ceramic artists as in many art branches today and biomorphic forms/works have been started to be produced by many contemporary ceramic artists. Biomorphic works, which are defined as works that generally resemble the creatures in nature, mostly plant/animal forms, especially in which certain appearance orcharacteristics of microscopic creatures and sea creatures are emphasized by the artists by adding certain personal interpretations/contributions are quite remarkable/valuable in our age in terms of the density of aesthetic details in the style, which is rare in their existence. In today's contemporary ceramic art, it is possible to find biomorphic tendencies in the works of many artists from various parts of the world. In this study, the concept of biomorphism, biomorphic art, and biomorphic trends in contemporary ceramic art are examined, and the introduction of the works of some contemporary artists who produce biomorphic ceramic works, which are considered to be exemplary, are included.
