Akihiro Nikaidou Pottery Exhibition 2018

- Stamped Ceramic Coated With Lacquer -

At 40 years old, Akihiro Nikaidou is in great demand now.

Having exhibitions in Hong Kong and Taiwan, he is a popular artist even=in Paris.

This is his second exhibition at Sara in NY after just a year.

In Japan he leads the movement "Tou-ism" (Ceramic-ism) and=actively helps to make young artists known to the public.

This coming November, a huge exhibition is scheduled at the Yokohama Red=Brick Warehouse.

I imagine it is not easy, while making ceramics, he is planning and co=ducting events with people. He must be moved by a sense of mission.

Just like his stamped pottery pieces, he carries forward his work patien=ly with courtesy.

A few days ago I received his new "stamped ceramic coated with lacquer" pi=ce.

It was a beautiful shape tea bowl.

After brushed white glaze on the top of the popular stamped surface, it=was fired right before the glaze melt, and then polished to make decora=ive patterns.

Then, it was given a coat of lacquer and fired again at a low heat.

Such a moisturized texture I have never seen, the stamped pattern just l=ke an ancient message underneath the layers of glaze and lacquer. W=at a beautiful shape it is.

Several stamped ceramic coated with lacquer pieces are expected to be at t=e exhibition.

I hope you come to see his newest pieces.
