Exhibition information |
KOSAKU KANECHIKA is pleased to present “Strata in Gestation,” an exhibition guest-curated by artist Yoshitomo Nara at our Tennoz gallery from June 27 to August 8, 2026. Since the gallery’s inception in 2017, KOSAKU KANECHIKA has featured artwork ranging across a diverse variety of media, not just paintings, and maintained a particular focus on the evocative medium of ceramics. To present the myriad possibilities within the realm of ceramic expression, we have invited Yoshitomo Nara, who himself works with ceramics, to curate this exhibition. In response to this task, Nara has selected four artists whose works he describes as “breathing life into the very atmosphere surrounding them simply by existing in the space.” This exhibition features approximately thirty works by Eiji Uematsu, Takuro Kuwata, Chinoko Sakamoto, and Masaomi Yasunaga. This exhibition presents a collection of works created by artists who utilize ceramics as their starting point while drawing upon their own distinctive physical sensibilities and perceptions of time. While embodying the fundamental elements of the medium, these works transcend the established boundaries of both traditional kogei crafts and contemporary art, offering a multilayered viewing experience. The perspective of guest curator Yoshitomo Nara, who refuses to be confined by refined styles or techniques and focuses instead on the uncontrollable nature of serendipity, resonates deeply with the imaginative forms created by the artists participating in this exhibition. KOSAKU KANECHIKA warmly invites you to this special exhibition guest-curated by Yoshitomo Nara.
