His vases are born of the harmonious marriage of know-how and tradition, celebrated by an artist’s eye.
Inheritor to eleven generations of Japanese ceramists who have been working with clay for 350 years – his father, Ohi Chozaemon XI, was awarded the Order of Cultural Benefit – but in addition a graduate in architecture from Tokyo College of the Arts, Nara Yuki explores these two dimensions and pushes the bounds to conceive works that border on abstraction.
The architectural concept presides over the creation. Pc modelling permits his complicated geometry to be detailed, breaking down the quantity of every piece into multiple slices.
Assembled on the central core of the vase, these beginnings give start to a type that seems to be expanding in area. Because of the whiteness of the porcelain, the light participates in the staging and the optical effects, accentuating the cuts by way of the play of shadows.
The voids are as essential as the solids in this work, inviting you to show the work around to perceive all its dimensions.
