Exhibitions

Sometimes fanciful, sometimes humorous, Ruiji Aiba is a ceramic artist devoted to artworks that implant themselves in the memory of those who view them. From pieces that can be enjoyed for their mysterious universe of tricks and surprises to those that reflect the artist’s own unique view of “beauty in utility”, the exhibition will feature a wide range of objects on display. We invite you to immerse yourself in the extraordinary universe of Ruiji Aiba.
