Celebrating the Tradition and Future of Ceramics
Held every two years since 2004, the Kikuchi Biennale is a contemporary ceramics competition dedicated to promoting the art form. With no restrictions on form or size, this year’s edition drew hundreds of submissions, and 46 works that represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship were selected for the final exhibition.
It’s a striking look at the sheer diversity of ceramic art today, and how artists are pushing one of the world’s oldest art forms into new territory. Beyond traditional pottery, the show balances functional vessel forms with avant-garde sculptural objets, celebrating both technical mastery and creative risk-taking.
