About the Item

Tanoue Shinya, is a ceramic artist from Kyoto. His work is already placed in the Museum of Kyoto and the Hyogo Ceramic Art Museum as well as being shown at US museums (Cincinnati, Phoenix, Crocker) as part of the Horvitz Collection of Contemporary Japanese Ceramic Art. He win multiple prize like the Prize of Excellence at the Mainichi Newspaper Prize at the 19th Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition, as well as a prize at the Asahi Ceramic Art Exhibition in 2007. His thin-walled sturdy shell forms are fired twice, and he uses three kinds of clay, and two slips, while he meticulously adds his mesmerising minute lines that look like pine needles. He adds a blue glaze and darkens parts of the slip. His work speaks of the birth of life itself. "Kara" is a Japanese word that has a double meaning: it means a shell but also emptiness. The seeming simplicity of the sculpture contains depth and intelligence.
