YOSHINORI AKAZAWA

CONTEMPORARY CERAMIC ART EXHIBITION

THINKER IN SPACE

works ‘Comedia’ 2016 : by Yoshinori Akazawa , Photo by Takashi Hatakeyama

The artist, AKAZAWA Yoshinori, transcends genres, being active in ceramics, nihonga-style painting and photography, both here in Japan and abroad. Born into a family of Kyōyaki potters famous for its Kōchi-ware (Kōchi-yaki, Cochin-ware) ceramics, he discovered an affinity existed between the nihonga-style of painting that he studied in university, the beauty of mosaic patterns and the materials used in Kōchi-ware, so he set about combining these various elements in his creative works.

This exhibition will feature works that have returned to Japan from open exhibitions abroad. In other words, it will provide the opportunity to see works selected by various people possessing differing aesthetics and values, all in one place. These works, which are a result of combining traditional Kōchi-ware techniques with inspiration acquired overseas, allow us a glimpse of the artist, others, the passage of time and the relationships that exist between different countries. The artist describes this sense, which surpasses time and space, as being that of a ‘thinker in space’, and we have used this as the title for the exhibition. We hope that this exhibition will serve to bring further innovation to the field of Kyōyaki ceramics.

IAC MEMBERS’ EXHIBITION: MEDITERRANEAN CERAMICS AND THEIR GLOBAL INFLUENCE

| 16.09.2024 – 31.12.2024 |

Opening: 16.09.2024

Curators: Alberto Guerreiro, José Antunes

Given its geostrategic importance, the Mediterranean has been the stage for countless historical events, many of them inseparable from the cultural progress of humanity, producing an impact that extends well beyond its territorial dimension – Portugal being a case in point – establishing itself as one of the most influential cultures in the world.

This exhibition reveals precisely how this influence can be established in the artistic universe of contemporary ceramics. Based on a competition organized by the International Academy of Ceramics (IAC) and aimed at all of its members, forty-four (45) artists from twenty-six (26) countries were selected, and their work clearly demonstrates the inspirational power of the ancient culture of the Mediterranean.

The exhibition is a rare opportunity to come into contact with a multifaceted set of works of great artistic quality in terms of what is being produced today in the field of international designer ceramics, expressed either by following the artistic tradition and techniques of antiquity, or through innovation, using renewed techniques reporting current socio-cultural or geopolitical themes inherent in the context of the Mediterranean or the world in which we live, such as forced migration, climate change or the timeless theme of the ‘conflict’ of cultures.
