 Exhibition Flyer
 Nagae Shigekazu
 Nagae Shigekazu (1958 - ) has not exhibited new works for the past five years. This exhibition thus marks the return of the artist to the exhibition scene. Nagae received the Grand Prix at the Triennal de la Porcelain, Nyon, in 1998, for his white porcelain work. Since then, he has experimented with multiple colors and shapes in his ceramic. Even so, for the Yufuku Exhibition, Nagae says he has focused on the dual elements of deduction and omission. The forms were curved and shaped to their utmost limits, the bases of the pieces were shorn, and colors were discarded in favor of the serenity of pure white. As a result, the artist has succeeded in depicting an almost organic movement within his porcelain. For more on this artist, please click here (outside link to our sister site).
