EVENT / EXHIBITION

小松市を拠点に活動する九谷焼作家・工藤武氏の個展を開催いたします。石川県立九谷焼技術研修所の創設時から定年までを過ごし、退職後はこれまで培ってきた技術と経験を駆使したオリジナリティ溢れる作品を精力的に制作しています。
本展では、あえてテーマは設けず、過去に見たものを想いながら、今の技術表現を落とし込んだ陶作品に仕上げるようにしました。本焼の釉と上絵の組み合わせで複雑だが印象に残る作品になればという思いで制作した、茶器·酒器·花器·ポット·コーヒーカップなど、50〜60点を出展予定です。

I have tried to create ceramic works that incorporate my present into the passage of time, recalling things I have seen and landscapes I have passed through in the past.
I did not have a specific theme in mind, and my motifs were the Indian subcontinent, Islam, natural history such as stones, plants, and stars, and archaeological sites,,,, all of which have interested me since I was young, and I paid attention to only one point in the ceramic work where these motifs were utilized.
I hope that the high-temperature glaze of the main firing and the low-temperature overglaze painting will correspond well to create a complex but memorable work.
In this solo exhibition, 50-60 pieces will be exhibited, including tea sets, sake cups, flower vases, pots, coffee cups and so on.
We hope you will take this opportunity to view his free-spirited and ambitious works, which are not limited to existing forms and images.
