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.
