「nowhere」

Artist: Yusuke Tsuchiya

For the titles of many of his exhibitions and works, Tsuchiya chooses concise terms stripped of all lyricism. The new pieces for the "nowhere" exhibition have titles including "lid," "radicle," and "pupa." The interpretation of their titles is left to the person viewing them.

Radiating a tranquillity reflecting their souls like the waters of a becalmed lake, Tsuchiya's human figures stand in repose, a far-away look in their limpid eyes. Sometimes veiled in light shades of transparent watercolor and Paris white, their bodies of terra-cotta, which were glazed after firing, are imbued with an ingenuous beauty and show not a single trace of superfluous finesse.
