Earthly Forms: Ceramic Works by Hiruma Kazuyo & Matsutani Fumio
June 13 – 28, 2024

Dai Ichi Arts, Ltd. is delighted to present a two-person exhibition showcasing the intricate ceramic works of Hiruma Kazuyo & Matsutani Fumio.

Hiruma, born in 1948, crafts evocative sculptures inspired by nature’s grandeur. Using thin clay sheets and multiple glazes, she captures the essence of landscapes, erosion, and natural forces. Matsutani, born in 1975, creates vessels that merge movement, color, and surface, reflecting his mastery of traditional techniques and innovative forms. His works are characterized by architectural elegance and a refined, monochromatic palette.

Together, their works create a dynamic dialogue, blending tradition with contemporary artistry, and highlighting their unique journeys and creative processes.

The accompanying digital exhibition catalog, featuring an article by author & curator Joe Earle and new interviews with the artists, is available for viewing here.
