Sokyo Lisbon is pleased to present Shozo Michikawa’s first solo exhibition in Portugal.

 

Having more than 40 years of experience working with ceramics, Michikawa is one of the most acclaimed Japanese artists internationally. In his self-titled solo exhibition, Shozo Michikawa, the artist brings 15 artworks through which he invites the visitor to an energetic, dynamic and poetic journey to Japanese tradition and to his own life’s path and experience. It is an invitation to discover the artist’s exceptional and unconventional skills on the potter’s wheel, and to enjoy carefully selected glazes that best bring out the nature of each piece, from the snowy scenery of Kohiki glaze, to the volcanic ash appearance of the natural ash and charcoal firing. Each ceramic sculpture tells the story of itself and all the visitor has to do is find it.
