ギャラリーコンセプト

今回は、工芸による表現の限界を広げることに挑む作家を紹介します。清水焼窯元に生まれた小川宣之が、独自の表現を上絵の技法を通じて生み出すのに対して、三木陽子は白黒で感傷的な作品を作る。おなじく陶芸作家の南繁樹、岡安真美、川瀬理央は、それぞれ磁土でできる表現の限界に挑戦している。古賀真弥の金工作品は金属装飾や仕上げの伝統技法を用い、時代を超えた魅力を持っている。樋口新は日本画の技法である点描で作品を描き、色鮮やかな爬虫類の絵で国際的な評価を得ている。刺繍する犬は、刺繍の技法を用い、基盤をモチーフとした作品を通して、独特な世界を生み出す。

Gallery concept

YOD Gallery presents artworks by rising artists from Kansai and western Japan. These creators have mastered traditional Japanese craft, and are reinventing the boundaries of expression that are achievable with their chosen medium. Nobuyuki Ogawa grew up in a family of Kiyomizu Ware potters, and utilizes overglaze techniques which Kyoto is famous for, to create his works which combine tradition and progress, whereas Yoko Miki mainly uses black and white in her thoughtful pieces. Likewise ceramic artists Shigeki Minami, Manami Okaysu, and Rio Kawase are testing the barriers of expression achievable with porcelain. Malaya Koga’s gorgeous copper works also encompass traditional metalwork and patina, the latter of which is especially effective in giving the pieces a timeless appeal. Arata Higuchi uses traditional Japanese painting mediums, but his pointillist approach renders an internationally appealing expression for his pictures of colourful reptiles. Stitch Dog creates embroidery inspired by circuit boards, presenting a unique world with her craft.
