Artist(s): Fuku FUKUMOTO
Date: 16 Dec 2011 - 29 Jan 2012
The final Sfera exhibit of the year and first of 2012 will be “an air of quality”. Fuku Fukumoto is based in Kyoto, but her works are appreciated throughout Japan and beyond; with presentations in Belgium and the U.S. This is the first time her works have been on exhibit at Sfera.
Working in porcelain, Fukumoto’s pieces are delicate, yet have a strong allure. They are objects, but do not end there – they connect with and shift the quality of the surrounding air. “I find myself more interested in the air, feel and atmosphere that envelops a composition, rather than in the ceramic pieces themselves. I work to shape figures that leave only the impression of exquisite quality.”
