SHOHEI ONO Solo Exhibition
2025. 7. 5 (sat) - 20 (sun)
Open: 13:00 - 19:00
Planning Cooperation: Utsuwa Shoken KAMAKURA
Shohei Ono has mined clay in the mountains, burning wood, and making his own ash glazes to create his own works. He has studied the natural chemical reactions between clay, glazes, and repeated application of heat and creates works with his own unique expression.
By repeatedly firing the works, the iron in the clay seeps out to the surface, then mixes with the glaze to create deeper colors in each works. Overlaying these deep colors, the works are covered in a beautiful, highly transparent glassy texture.
This method of repeated firing is often avoided due to its high risk. However, he dares to take on the technique, and is passionate about the ever-changing expressions of the works depending on how the heat is applied, and creates strong vessel that is easy for users to use.
As a result, his works have a deep beauty and strength that is unlike any other. At the same time, we can feel the comfortable weight when we held his works in our hand. His works gently welcomes any user and teaches us the joy of using as a tableware as well.
In this time, he featured his new work, 白銀 which is called "Shirogane". We were very happy that you all enjoy his beautiful works that weaved delicate and deep colors created by his strong hands.
We are planning to hold another solo exhibition by Ono Shohei next year.
We are very looking forward to meeting his new works again there.
Hope you all are looking forward to it, too!
