Based in Tamba-Sasayama, Hyogo, Ryu Hoki works primarily with porcelain, exploring how the delicate texture of washi paper and its soft tactile qualities can be expressed through this refined ceramic material. Embracing the subtle distortions and layered surfaces that emerge during firing, the artist incorporates the material’s natural transformation into the very form of each work. Fine creases and layered textures create unique surfaces that shift gently with changing light. Rather than pursuing uniformity, Hoki allows the subtle variations born in the kiln to accumulate, revealing new expressive possibilities within porcelain. This exhibition features vessels and sculptural works from the artist’s Washi-textured Porcelain series. We warmly invite you to experience this distinctive exploration of porcelain and its remarkable expressive potential.
