Ryusuke Asai
Medel Gallery Shu Hibiya presents a solo exhibition by Ryusuke Asai, titled “Igniting the Earth | 地球を織す,” on view from May 8 to May 26, 2026.
Based in Tokyo, Ryusuke Asai has established a distinguished career as a ceramic artist. This exhibition marks a significant milestone, presenting his work in a contemporary art context and highlighting a new phase in his practice. Centered on newly developed three-dimensional sculptures and objects, the exhibition reflects a bold expansion of his artistic language.
Alongside these recent works, the exhibition will also feature Asai’s signature functional vessels, offering insight into the foundation of his craftsmanship and the evolution of his approach to form and material.
A key highlight of the exhibition is a special collaboration with the ikebana artist Saiga. Featuring floral arrangements composed specifically for Asai’s vessels, the presentation creates a dynamic dialogue between ceramic form and the ephemeral nature of living plants.
