Natural materials take central stage in Sokyo Lisbon's new exhibition as we show works by Osamu KOJIMA, Luke FULLER and Shozo MICHIKAWA. The three artists highlight the natural origins of ceramics through their techniques and inspiration. The strength of elemental materials is embraced in remarkably powerful pieces.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.
