In India, the design is perceived in various ways; what works about Claymen is that it caters to a wide spectrum of users. Functional objects satisfy the practical shopper; dysfunctional art-oriented pieces attract the fanatics and the clay sculptures appeal to almost anyone who looks at them. Aman clearly understands the needs and more importantly the wants of the people thereby bringing to the table a fresh take on art.
The theme of his project follows the daily routine of a common man; his ups and downs are captured beautifully in objects like lamps, cups and sculptures. The choice of colours and the fact that each piece is an outcome of love and painstaking labour is what sells across stores in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangaluru and soon in Melbourne
Being inspired by local Indian potters, Aman tried his hand at clay sculptures; clay as a material is quite versatile and at the same time simple. Hence the exploration of design and expression of his thought process is quite clear. The idea behind using clay was because it is commonly used and worked with; making the theme of common men and his life more relatable.
