Shushiki-keigaku is a term invented by Takeshi Hinoda to replace the term "Bijutsu" (art) and refers to an attempt to focus on the creation of color and form through the medium of the artist's hands (body), which can be considered the original "body" of the plastic arts.
Hinoda's production style involves forming clay by hand, masking it, and spraying it with pigments for ceramics to add color. He also creates exhibition spaces in the form of installations, which he began about 20 years ago.
In addition to the ceramic works, cutting sheets resembling motifs are covered on the floor, walls, and sometimes even the ceiling. This space creation has been practiced through physical experimentation, such as cutting sheets, as an extension of the ceramic works.
Hinoda has tried various approaches in the past to adapt ceramic, a material originally used as tableware and vases at an intimate distance from humans, to the space and context of contemporary art. The surface of the work is a question about the social issues of the time.
On the surface of the works, motifs that pose questions about the social issues of the time are painted, but the premise of shushiki-keigaku is to enjoy the sound, movement, and collision of colors and shapes rather than concepts.
