About the Item

The main theme of Kitade’s artwork is focused on questioning. The sources of the ideas are picked up from his own life experiences, starting from personal experiences and expanding into what’s happening in the world, including history, current event and future issues. Based on these themes, He questions why it’s happening, what’s the real meaning, and he wants to point out these issues to people. Kitade would be very happy if his pieces triggered discussions with those who see his artwork. Each piece of artwork has a theme from his own point of view, a sarcastic nuance, and he wants to plant a seed in the viewers’ hearts and minds. About the Work: From natural cold earth to gleaming high-fire surfaces, clay is the ancient anatomic medium. It is the medium in which time stands still, ideas are frozen, and yet a civilization is represented for all eternity. “By working in clay, I have been able to explore significant issues about our antonymic existence, as Selves that can only be defined by the presence of the other.” Kenjiro Kitade was born in Tokyo, Japan in February 1977. At the age of 13 he and his family immigrated to the United States. In 1995 he enrolled at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Education, majoring in Fine Art and also completed a master’s program there, concentrating in ceramic sculpture. Career highlights include the bronze at the World Ceramic Exposition in South Korea in 2005, and later showing at the highly selective SOFA show (Sculpture Objects and Functional Art) in Chicago, Miami and New York. Living and working in New York City, he participates in numerous art fairs and exhibitions, working with several galleries nationally and internationally.

Each wall sculpture, meticulously crafted, tells a story of geishas and sumotori seemingly emerging from the very fabric of the wall, bringing life to the once-silent surface. The series begins with the subtle elegance of the geishas. Watanabe's sculpted figures, draped in flowing kimono, convey a timeless beauty that transcends the boundaries of the wall. The geishas, frozen in graceful poses, appear to step out of the shadows, their delicate features and intricate details breathing life into the silence...
