MASAHIRO LAMARSH
ARTIST / JEWELERMasahiro LaMarsh (b. 1995) is a New York–based artist, jeweler, and sculptor whose practice moves between traditional metalsmithing, wearable art, and larger sculptural forms. Raised between Northern California and the Dallas–Fort Worth area, LaMarsh draws from his biracial Asian American identity, architectural history, and the cultural language of adornment.
Jewelry, grillz, and sculptural objects bring Masahiro LaMarsh’s practice into a more intimate scale. Working with precious metal and stone, he draws on traditional metalsmithing to explore the relationship between an object, the body, and the person who wears it.
He developed his sculptural techniques through studies in marble carving in Carrara, Italy, and through his autodidactic nature. In metal, LaMarsh treats the body as a site for memory and storytelling, creating intricate grillz and bespoke objects that balance classical craft with the personal and contemporary.
His work has been created in collaboration with artists including Erykah Badu, Michèle Lamy, and Shigeto, and for performers on Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s Grand National Tour. His 2025 Dallas Contemporary exhibition, Anticlastic, presented grillz as sculptural works shaped by identity, subculture, architecture, and human imperfection.
