Be sure to to view this pair of complementing exhibitions – Eternal Partnership: Japanese Ceramics in Blue & White presented by Joan B Mirviss LTD and Postwar Japanese Calligraphy and Painting presented by Gallery Shibunkaku – before they close this Friday, April 19th at Joan B Mirviss LTD.

Eternal Partnership: Japanese Ceramics in Blue & White is an exploration into the artistry of blue and/or white ceramics by a group of exceptional Japanese artists. The most visually striking color combination for centuries, blue and white has been paired effectively in all types of Japanese art, but most prominently and successfully in its ceramics. Joan B Mirviss LTD presents the enduring legacy of this timeless aesthetic, and its dynamic expressions in Japanese contemporary clay, through the lens of the esteemed Kyoto-based Kondō family. The exhibit also includes masterful work by twenty additional Japanese ceramic artists applying blue and/or white across a wide range of innovative forms and styles.

Postwar Japanese Calligraphy and Painting focuses on abstract paintings and works on paper of Japanese artists from the postwar period and showcases a variety of artistic practices in Japanese art during this time. By highlighting the international dialogue with artistic movements such as Art Informel and Abstract Expressionism, Gallery Shibunkaku’s exhibition challenges conventional narratives and constraints endured within a Western context.
