The Story of Things with Form

 

biscuit gallery (Shinjuku) will hold a solo exhibition “Tales of Things with Form” by contemporary artist Katou.
The exhibition runs from October 29 (Wednesday) to November 3 (Monday/National Holiday) with no closed days during the period.

This is the second solo exhibition by artist Katou at biscuit gallery, held approximately two and a half years after the previous one. This exhibition will also feature the artist’s first display of three-dimensional works.

Recently, I have been painting “things with form” more often.
The motifs that appear in my paintings are manifested as “forms” through lines.

This time, I have also created three-dimensional works in ceramics.
The three-dimensional works have no lines; I create “form” directly by kneading clay with my hands.

Although the methods differ, in terms of “creating form,” I feel that paintings and three-dimensional works are the same.

When creating three-dimensional works and when creating flat works, this time I moved back and forth between these two states of mind during the creative process, so there may be a blended feeling between the two.

Through such creative work, I believe I will continue to think about and create “forms” going forward.
