For his sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, SAKIYAMA Takayuki (b. 1958) continues to explore the meeting of waves and shoreline, drawing inspiration from the rugged coastal landscape near his studio on the Izu peninsula. His dynamic swirling sculptural forms and their carved linear patterning evoke the ebb and flow of waves against the shore, while his unique glaze, created using sand from local beaches, highlights the spiraling patterning. These incredibly striking works have earned Sakiyama a place in private and public collections worldwide. Our exhibition featuring his latest sculptural vessels opens on November 8th and runs through December 2024.
