The exhibition of ceramic works by Jun Kawajiri
Distortion, Crack, and Shining. That’s Japanese Ceramic! March 16–April 30, 2021 *Opening reception has been canceled. UCHIGO and SHIZIMI Gallery and Wada Garou Tokyo are pleased to present a solo exhibition by a ceramic artist Jun Kawajiri, Distortion, Crack, and Shining. That’s Japanese Ceramic!, beginning on March 16th, 2021. In this exhibition, we will present works that Jun deliberately distorted, cracked, and chipped, based on his strong admiration for the “imbalanced beauty”. For some people, “cracks” and “distortions” that created intentionally are sometimes grotesque, calculating, and less beautiful than those that happened naturally. He, however, wishes that the gallery visitors enjoy the imperfection they have as well. This exhibition will simultaneously be held at 2 venues, UCHIGO and SHIZIMI Gallery (Jimbo-cho) and Wada Garou Tokyo (Ginza). We will display various types of his ceramics, not only tea bowls and flat plates but also installation art and large-scale objects. It would be a valuable opportunity to see his works together in one place, so we hope you enjoy them at the venue! |
