To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Onishi Gallery presents a special exhibition bringing together the work of ten distinguished artists, four of whom will also participate in the 2026 edition of Homo Faber on Venice’s Island of San Giorgio Maggiore this September. Meaning “human as maker,” Homo Faber speaks to the creative spirit at the heart of this exhibition. Across ceramics, metal, lacquer, and other media, these exceptional works reveal the distinctive language of each material while offering a profound reflection of the hands, vision, and artistry of their makers.  Join them next week for the opening and a special talk to learn more about the extraordinary works.
