We are delighted to present an exhibition of new work by Japanese artist Kensuke Fujiyoshi. This new collection of porcelain boxes feature animals from all over the world. These boxes have exquisite lids, which when lifted, reveal beautifully decorated interiors.
Each porcelain box hand-crafted by Fujiyoshi expresses something new and unique. His wonderfully imaginative combination of creatures and patterns reflect some of the character or habitat of the animal he is sculpting.
The artist lives and works in Fukuoka, Japan and from his studio creates expressive calligraphic drawings and designs rooted in Japanese tradition which translate to his porcelain sculptures.
Fujiyoshi writes “For me, making art is about filling in the gap between the world of reality that you see before your eyes and the world of fantasy inside your head.
My creativity finds its source both in the familiar beauty of nature experienced in everyday life, and in the beauty possessed by traditional objects. Pottery is something fragile. But if handled carefully it can last hundreds of years. My aim is to make things that will be loved a thousand years from now.”
