Curation

Akihiro_369 – Tenmoku

I was attracted by the mysterious aesthetics reflected in the most beautiful and mysterious tea bowl in the history of ceramics in the world (called “Yohentenmoku / 曜変天目”).

I found the breathtaking beauty of the “universe” in the scenery within the curvy tea bowl and this experience drove me to somehow express this impression in the flat world. After expressing it on canvas at first, I attempted it on copperplate this time – this is how “Tenmoku” was born.

The work is based on the viscosity printing (Hayter method) invented by S.W. Hayter, the founder of Atelier 17, an experimental print studio in Paris that pioneered the art world in the last century.

This work has been featured/exhibited as below:

Featured on Asahi Shimbun (Hyogo Prefecture edition), February 2020
Exhibited at KANDAI MERISE (Umeda, Osaka) in August, 2020.

世界の陶芸史上でも最も美しく、そして最大の謎に包まれた幻の茶碗 （曜変天目）に映し出された神秘的な美しさに惹かれました。

茶碗の景色に息を飲むような美しさ「宇宙」を観ました。 この感動を何とかして平面の世界で表現してみたい衝動に駆られ制作しました。

当初はキャンバスで表現しましたが、今回銅版画で試みてみました。前世紀世界をリードしたパリの実験的版画工房アトリエ17の創始者S.W,ヘイターが考案した一版多色刷り（ヘイター法）による作品です。

Lorenzo R Sanchez – COMMA COMMA COMMA STAR

The number of stars in a galaxy varies, but assuming an average of 100 billion stars per galaxy means that there are about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that’s 1 billion trillion) stars in the observable universe!

Kusan – Kusan

The personification of the sword, which is said known as the “life of the Japanese samurai”. Although this is a sword called “獣刀 (Juto)” as it resembles the shape of beasts, I created this work based on the idea of Japanese sword which is held by the samurai.

svalvald – A sweet and gentle flower of love that blooms in winter

蝋梅は江戸時代初期に日本に渡来し、花の少ない冬に咲く花として、古くから日本人に珍重されてきました。また蝋梅の花は甘く優しい香りを持っていて、花言葉は慈愛です。春の到来を心待ちにしている私たちをそっと見守ってくれます。蝋梅は庭に植栽してから、花を咲かせるまで6から7年の歳月がかかります。手塩にかけて育てることで、かわいい花を咲かせることができるのです。

Winter sweet came to Japan in the early Edo period and has long been prized by the Japanese as a flower that blooms in winter when there are few flowers. Also, winter sweet flowers have a sweet and gentle scent, and the flower language is affection. They gently watch over us as we look forward to the arrival of spring. Winter sweet takes 6 to 7 years to bloom after being planted in the garden. By nurturing them with care, we can make cute flowers bloom.
