Yuki Nara, Masayoshi Nojo and Ayako Kuno Transcend The Boundaries of Medium
Held at Bonded Gallery in Terrada Art Complex II, this exhibition features works by three artists who fuse traditional Japanese techniques with contemporary sensibilities: Yuki Nara, Masayoshi Nojo and Ayako Kuno. As the title suggests, the exhibition explores the fluctuations between boundaries, whether material, conceptual or temporal.
Nara, a descendent of the Ohi family — a long line of renowned ceramicists — is featuring his striking sculptural piece “Ice Wall,” which combines his heritage with 3D computer-aided design. Nojo synthesizes Japanese and contemporary visual languages to convey the passage of time. His “Mirage” series uses foil to depict ethereal landscapes that seem to appear and disappear. Kuno, known for her densely detailed metal sculptures, offers her piece “Reborn” for viewing. Inspired by ever-expanding urban landscapes, it uses a lost-wax casting technique to capture the dynamism and intricacy of cities.
