Radical Clay exhibition

avatar

I do love art museums and the Radical Clay exhibition at the Art Institute in Chicago that featured accomplished work by contemporary women artists from Japan was fascinating!

One of my favorite pieces, by Tsiji Kyo is titled Plate with butterfly design and was created in the early 1990s. It is woodfired stoneware with camellia-ash design.

Tanaka Yu creates clay sculptures that appear to be brightly colored textiles alluding to the centuries old Japanese practice (furoshiki) of wrapping treasured objects in cloth. She creates the illusion of fabric by using sponges and applying up to 6 layers of glaze.
I saw nothing that would have convinced me that this was clay and not fabric!

This piece, titled Dream Flight was created in 2019 by Tanka Tomomi. She used feather thin layers of clay to produce the wave like appearance.

Hattori Makiko's pieces are characterized by the textures she creates with razor thin clay shavings.

Somehow I didn't document the artists name but wanted to include my photo of this incredibly detailed flower

This piece by Yashima Etsuko explores the technique of combining glass with clay.

Working with clay fascinates me and it was delightful to be able to closely observe and photograph these incredible works of art!

Wow, I wouldn't think that they were made of clay if not mentioned.

Exceptional works of art, created with precision and luxury. I had the feeling that these were some kind of baroque sculptures. It must be even more fascinating to see it in person.

The one that looks like a fabric wrapped bundle was pretty astonishing, too

Beautiful works. I really like all the textures. On first look, none of these look like clay. Fun exhibit!

if it is not in the exhibition, I think people will not believe if it is mane of clay. the "plate" really look like it i made of fabric. I wonder how long does it take to make it.

I don't remember seeing details on how long they took. Hattori Makikos says her work 'involves an incessantly repetitive process, but she never tires of of this Zen-like operation'

The funny thing about these artworks is that people created them from cheap things and they look wonderful
The artists deserve some accolades. These are great jobs

Not every person can make such things. These artists work hard to make them beautiful and then they are placed in such a place. People are very happy to see them.
