Tomonari Hashimoto
Hashimoto is known for his massive ceramic work with unique metallic textures, exhibiting them in numerous exhibitions internationally.
The massive geometric forms, including spheres and monolithic pieces, are entirely shaped by hand-twisting layers of clay and finished with a metallic glaze before being slowly fired in an enormous brick kiln. Despite their inorganic form, the hand-crafted shapes contrast with the huge, massive objects and human physicality, and the beautiful metallic surfaces change their expressions with the passage of light and the lapse of a long time.
In this exhibition, the artist will present mainly large rectangular columns made of ceramic and mortar. The solid, massive cubes have the impression of monuments created with a certain meaning as if they were released from gravity or placed here after having been transported from somewhere else over many years. The work connotes a contradictory nature of weight and a light floating sensation created by the contrast and combination of materials, which leave a feeling full of questions with the viewers.
