Takako Kikuchi: Cloisonne × Nihonga

Kikuchi’s practice is a rare combination of cloisonne ware and Nihonga.Her characters, rendered as cloisonné figures, possess a luster and transparency that glimmers with the light of living things.
They are supported by a gentle atmosphere borne from backgrounds painted with mineral pigments.
By creating objects where these two divergent techniques co-exist, Kikuchi’s goal is to “create a miniature universe within each artwork”.
This is the artist’s much-anticipated first solo exhibition and we hope to receive your visit.
