津田清和さんの硝子展を開催いたします。奈良県葛城市にて制作される津田さん。大学在学中に吹き硝子に出会い、その後各地の工房で研鑽を重ね、2008年に独立されました。吹き硝子を基盤に、カットや鎬、金属箔、石粉など複数の技法を取り入れ、硝子の表面に生じる線や陰影、質感を作品の造形へと展開されています。器の輪郭や厚み、表面の仕上げによって生まれる光の屈折や陰影は、硝子という素材ならではのものです。吹き硝子の成形過程で生じる微細な厚みの変化に加え、カットによる線や面が重なることで、ひとつの器の中に多様な表情が生まれます。本展では、器や酒器、花入、蓋物など、日常に用いられる器を中心にご紹介いたします。さまざまな技法を用いて硝子の表情を引き出してきた津田さんの仕事をどうぞご高覧くださいませ。

We are pleased to present an exhibition of glass works by Kiyokazu Tsuda. Based in Katsuragi, Nara Prefecture, Tsuda encountered glassblowing while at university and went on to develop his skills at various studios before establishing his own practice in 2008. Working primarily with blown glass, he incorporates a range of techniques, including cutting, faceting, metal leaf, and stone powder, using lines, shadows, and textures that emerge on the surface of the glass as elements of his forms. The refraction of light and subtle shadows created by the contours, thickness, and surface finish of each vessel are unique qualities of glass. Variations in thickness produced during the blowing process, combined with lines and planes created through cutting, give each piece a distinctive character. The exhibition features vessels, sake ware, flower vessels, and lidded pieces, with a focus on works intended for everyday use. We warmly invite you to discover Tsuda’s distinctive approach to bringing out the many expressions of glass.
