Yuki Shimizu
Art For Thought is pleased to present the solo exhibition of Yuki Shimizu, 'Room of Desire' as “The Foundry” series vol. 2.
His works are placed on a tray. In sculptural works, the pedestal is considered an important element that represents the strength of the work as art, and it’s the same for the vessels created by Shimizu. By being placed on a tray, they make us recognize them as “artworks”.
On the other hand, the combination of tray and vessel is taken from the Tokonoma (alcove), and the diversity of expression in terms of seasons and Wabi-Sabi (the aesthetic sense in Japanese art emphasizing quiet simplicity and subdued refinement) through the combination of these two elements firmly establishes the presence of this art as a lifestyle craft in Japanese art.
The artworks of Shimizu go between and support the conflicting contexts, like art and craft, Western art and Japanese art, artwork and vessel. And it consists of his everyday desires/lusts. It is precisely because of this kitschy disclosure (about the swimsuit photo collection being the root of his lust for creation), while encompassing a lofty context, that those of us who live each day with sweat and tears cannot help but feel attached to his work.
