Shohei Fujita
As brocade does, Fujita’s ceramics embrace rich colors and intricate delicacy, ranging over two major techniques. In one of these techniques the works are formed with a frosted glass-like touch, as if the paints have dropped into water, spread and dissolved. They are in soothing colors and mottled patterns, formed through a unique method which requires a long time to shave off the multi-layered glaze. Works such as a small bottle with a lid function as general vessels but at the same time are flavored with atmospheres of abstraction and fantasy. In the other technique, Fujita employs the skill of painting small dots and painting aka-e (Japanese “red painting”) to create patterns on the ceramics. This technique brings about a texture which is similar to a copperplate print, and a mysterious charm in the motifs such as birds, koi fish and snakes. This exhibition brings together examples of both approaches combined with
