Group Exhibition 'When I Kiss You, I Can Taste Your Soul'

April 06, 2024

KOTARO NUKAGA, Roppongi is pleased to present ‘When I Kiss You, I Can Taste Your Soul’ a group exhibition by ceramic artists from April 13 (Sat) to May 25 (Sat).

This exhibition introduces five artists who use ceramics to explore the realm of aesthetic discourse, pushing its boundaries and expanding its potential. The exhibited artists turn the spotlight to the relationship between intention and the uncontrolled in ceramics, whereby the clay is shaped and then requires a firing process to finish the work. They present essential questions about the true nature of art.

the exhibition’s title, ‘When I Kiss You, I Can Taste Your Soul’ to function as a message that goes beyond the framework of this single medium, expressing its relationship to art as a whole. Just as a kiss is more than mere physical contact but an encounter with the other person’s soul—with them as a person—so too might an encounter with the ceramics exhibited here bring knowledge about the essence of art, the soul of art. We hope you will come and see for yourself.
