Celestial Ceramics: the Art of Kondo Takahiro
at Barry Friedman Gallery in conjunction with Joan B Mirviss, LTD
March 19 - May 18, 2002Press Release
For over ten years, Kondo has explored the theme of water in his clay work. After
repeatedly firing his porcelain forms with, primarily, shades of blue under-glaze, he
applies his unique silver, gold and platinum-drop over-glaze. Representing "water
born out of fire," this beaded metallic, mist-like glaze is applied on porcelain boxes,
vases, and sculpted forms, creating jewel-like, magical surfaces that appear both
celestial and aquatic in nature.
