Descripción de la Exposición

Sokyo Lisbon is pleased to open its gallery in Lisbon with an exhibition by one of the most celebrated Japanese ceramists. Opening on the 22nd – 23rd of October, Mishima Kimiyo’s exhibition is her first solo exhibition in Portugal and in a commercial gallery in Europe, following a solo exhibition at Artissima, Italy in 2019. This is a rare opportunity to see and enjoy this artist’s work, an artist that is represented in major private and institutional collections worldwide. Mishima Kimiyo was born in Juso, Osaka in 1932. Having began her career working in mixed media she soon was drawn to the solid yet breakable features of clay, combining the silkscreen process with three-dimensional works, resulting in exquisite ceramic works of art that express her anxiety about consumption, waste and the insatiable appetite for information of modern society. Her works are included, amongst others, in the permanent collections of British Museum, UK; Art Institute of Chicago, US; Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Japan; M+, Hong Kong; National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, Japan. This exhibition includes works from different stages of her career starting from 1969. Sokyo Lisbon is a contemporary art and ceramics gallery based in Portugal in partnership with Sokyo Gallery in Kyoto, Japan. Sokyo Lisbon’s aim is to present the highest quality of Japanese contemporary ceramics and works of art to an European audience including works by artists such as Machiko Hashimoto, Mishima Kimiyo, Osamu Kojima, Moriyasu Kimura, Toshio Matsui, Eiko Kishi, Toru Ishii, Heechang Yoon, Satoru Hoshino and Kazuhito Kawai, among others. Atsumi Fujita is Sokyo Lisbon and Sokyo Gallery’s Diretor. Founded in 2013, Sokyo Gallery represents over sixty artists working in ceramics, lacquer, textiles, glass and metal. The gallery participates regularly in international art fairs such as Artissima, ART021, Collect London, Dangdai, Design Basel, TEFAF Maastricht. Sokyo Gallery works closely with museums and institutions such as The British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Centre Pompidou, Minneapolis Institute of Art, among others.
