Kawai is one of the most praised emerging artists working with clay in contemporary art field mainly because he succeeded to update the possibilities of expression through the ceramic material, going on a completely different path from ceramic tradition. There are a lot of strong words usually associated to his artworks and all of them seem to be applicable: dynamic, fragile, overwhelming, irregular, creative, entertaining, grotesque.
