The relationship of people with clay is an ancient one. Because clay is widely found in nature we have been using it since prehistory to produce tools that help us in our daily lives, or simply to create aesthetic forms that endlessly please or spiritually inspire us. Clay is an honorable material that has allowed human societies to advance and to extend their creativity. The shapes and colors we have given clay are so rich and diverse that we often forget how organic are the processes involving mountain formation, water, erosion, rocks, and sand. “Materials of the Earth” brings together three unique and very different artists to celebrate their connections to the elemental features of ceramic artworks.

Riding for a Fall is Kazuhito Kawai first solo exhibition with Sokyo Lisbon. Using a distinctive approach to ceramic, Kawai’s sculptures emerge like castles or vessels in which the extreme glaze overflows with nostalgic expression that holds and traps the artist’s emotions and concepts.
Paying particular attention to the environment that surrounds us – both physical and metaphysical – his works are deeply connected to landscape: “representing the land by the land itself”.
The exhibition Rivers introduces his work through a series of paintings made with sand collected along the Kamogawa River and the Seine, including an eight-minute video accompanying the artist work process between the Kamogawa's riverbed environs Kyoto and at the studio at Tama Art University in Tokyo.
