Kenjiro Okazaki: Kunitsukami as Chthonius

Exhibition Period: Sunday, March 10, 2024 – Sunday, May 12, 2024

 

We are pleased to announce Kenjiro Okazaki’s solo exhibition Kunitsukami as Chthonius. This exhibition offers a preview of new sculptures and will be open until Sunday, May 12. Takuro Someya Contemporary Art was involved in planning this collaborative exhibition.

 

These new sculptures are the culmination of a quarter-century period during which the artist prepared to resume their production and will soon be widely exhibited. In the lead-up to their public unveiling, we hope to provide an opportunity to reflect on and renew our understanding of the significance of Okazaki’s sculptures, as well as the inherent power and presence of the medium of sculpture itself. This exhibition also aims to foster synergy across the various elements of Okazaki’s diverse endeavors as he continues to expand his practice, both domestically and internationally.

 

In Kunitsukami as Chthonius, Okazaki offers a glimpse into his vision of sculpture-making for the first time since his presentation of ceramic sculptures twenty-five years ago. This exhibition features sculptures that adhere to the original dimensions of the artist’s handmade forms as well as those that, through enlargement, demonstrate the presence of volume as a major element of sculpture. Each work confronts us with the dynamism born from the fusion of form and material.

                        Exhibition Period: Sunday, March 10, 2024 – Sunday, May 12, 2024

                         

                        We are pleased to announce Kenjiro Okazaki’s solo exhibition Kunitsukami as Chthonius. This exhibition offers a preview of new sculptures and will be open until Sunday, May 12. Takuro Someya Contemporary Art was involved in planning this collaborative exhibition.

                         

                        These new sculptures are the culmination of a quarter-century period during which the artist prepared to resume their production and will soon be widely exhibited. In the lead-up to their public unveiling, we hope to provide an opportunity to reflect on and renew our understanding of the significance of Okazaki’s sculptures, as well as the inherent power and presence of the medium of sculpture itself. This exhibition also aims to foster synergy across the various elements of Okazaki’s diverse endeavors as he continues to expand his practice, both domestically and internationally.

                         

                        In Kunitsukami as Chthonius, Okazaki offers a glimpse into his vision of sculpture-making for the first time since his presentation of ceramic sculptures twenty-five years ago. This exhibition features sculptures that adhere to the original dimensions of the artist’s handmade forms as well as those that, through enlargement, demonstrate the presence of volume as a major element of sculpture. Each work confronts us with the dynamism born from the fusion of form and material.
