In July, Touch Gallery will bring you the solo exhibition “Knitted Kitchen - Mitsuho Tsuri Solo Exhibition" by the famous Japanese ceramist Mitsuho Tsuri. Even though time flies and things change rapidly, kitchen is still an indispensable corner of our life. Tsuri utilises daily utensils such as household detergents, seasoning containers, Campbell soup cans, and biscuit slices as inspiration of the exhibits this time. She explores the infinite possibilities of modern ceramic art from a new perspective, manifests a woven-like distinctive expression, with elements of pop art, to transform the concept of normal kitchen into an interesting art kitchen.As a rising star that has attracted numerous attention internationally, Tsuri creates ceramic artworks in reference to the history and observation of the present. Not only patterns from the Jomon period, but also current industrial products have become her source of inspiration. Humans have been weaving and making ceramics since ancient times, and her artworks combine the two deep-rooted craftsmanships. In addition to trace track of human development, her artworks also present refreshing colours and modern forms, linking the past and the present. After depriving the original practical usage of the container, her artworks deliberately imitate the image of mass-produced disposable industrial products with vivid colours, she subverts the stereotype of of a container, and invokes reflection on the changes in times of the relationship between human life and utensils and even handicrafts.
In this exhibition, she uses techniques of coiling to “weave” the clay sticks into unique ceramic artworks, and also refers to the traditional crafting method of Kintaro Candy, she cut the cylindrical clay into even slices, and each part shows the same face, so as to express the irony of the cookie-cutter persona as Pop Art, and reflect contemporary popular culture. Her creation transcends the barriers of time, space and culture, by combining the common history and ageless symbols of mankind, her artworks embody the current time and will lead the future generations to understand our times. We sincerely invite everyone to explore the dreamy and harmonious artistic world of Mitsuho Tsuri, to reexamine the past and focus on the present, reorganize your thoughts, heal your soul in the bright colours, and passionately welcome the future.
Touch Gallery7月為大家帶來日本著名陶藝家釣光穗的個展「編織的台所—釣光穗個人作品展」。縱使日月如梭，台所（日文中的「廚房」）仍是人類生活中不可或缺的一隅。是次展出的作品，釣光穗以居家的洗滌劑、調味料容器、金寶湯罐頭等日常器皿，還有切割後的餅乾造型作為創作靈感。她以嶄新視角，探索現代陶藝的無限可能性，透過猶如編織般的獨特表現手法，注入普普藝術元素，將居家台所轉化成饒有趣味的藝術台所。
作為受到萬眾矚目的後起之秀，釣光穗取材追古而察今，從繩紋時代的圖案，乃至現今的工業製品也成為她的靈感來源。人類自古以來便會編織及造陶，而她的作品正正結合兩種歷史悠久的工藝，除了追溯人類發展的生活軌跡，也以清新色彩和充滿現代感的形態活現眼前，聯繫過去及現在。在脫離容器的本來實際用途後，其作品卻刻意接近大量製造的即棄工業製品形象及加入繽紛的色彩，顛覆固有概念，思考人類生活與器皿以至手工藝的關係之時代變遷。
在是次展出的作品中，她運用泥條盤築技法，把泥條編織成獨一無二的陶藝作品；亦參照傳統金太郎飴的製作手法，在呈條狀時平均切割，每部分都顯示相同的橫斷面，延伸普普藝術對千人一面的諷刺意念，並反映當代流行的大眾文化。她的創作超越時空及文化的隔閡，藉着印證人類共享的歷史痕跡之手工藝及符號，引領後世了解我們生活的這個時空，寄寓時代的底蘊。我們誠邀大家一同探索釣光穗洋溢夢幻色彩而和諧的藝術世界，回望過去並着眼當下，重新整理思緒，在那明亮色彩中療癒心靈，積極迎接未來。
