This exhibition intends to show the unlimited expressiveness and potential of ceramic art, far beyond our preconceived notion of ceramics, by presenting ceramic works that are suggestive of other, completely different media.
The title of this exhibition, This is CERAMIC! answers the question that the viewers will naturally ask about the works displayed here.
These works are the results of endless exploration and challenging of the limits of ceramics. They are classified as ‘hyper-realist works,’ ‘works depicting metals, minerals, and paper,’ and others.
To see ceramic works that so effectively mimic real things and fool our eyes broadens our experience, gives us a special joy, and changes our concept of the medium of ceramics.
The works are by both world renowned masters representing the times and young, up-and-coming artists. They present a new aspect of ceramics, and We hope you find them visually delightful and freshly stimulating.
