Torsion and tension are characteristic of the vessels created by
the exceptional Japanese ceramicist Shozo Michikawa (b. 1953),
whose works are reminiscent of rock strata and lava flows.
Michikawa is known for his unique technique, for turning edgy,
dynamic sculptures on the potter's wheel. First he cuts and scores
a solid block of clay before he carves out the interior hollow
through pressing and turning with a rod and his hands.
Natural-looking surfaces emerge, just as geological forces formed
the earth's surface - an irrepressible energy from the inside out.
Michikawa's pots, with their irregular shape, granular texture, and
rich earthen hues are so poetic in their appearance that they have
been likened to 'haikus in clay'. With a selection of works from
the last fifteen years, Shozo Michikawa introduces the first
comprehensive insight into his ceramic production, which has
attracted attention across the globe. The Museum fur Kunst und
Gewerbe Hamburg; LACMA Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Ashmolean
Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Oxford; National
Museum of Wales, Cardiff; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Qinglingsi
Temple, Xi'an and Shimada City Museum are among the institutions
that have acquired his work. This book accompanies an exhibition,
which will tour between venues: Lacoste Gallery, Concord, MA (US),
3 to 24.6.2017; Erskine, Hall & Coe, London (UK), 11.10. to
2.11.2017. The artist is active on facebook, at
