Ippodo Gallery (Booth B4)
The natural world often plays a starring role in Japanese art and design. At New York’s Ippodo Gallery, that can be as wild as the force of a tsunami, which inspires the origami-styled ceramics of Yukiya Izumita. Ikuro Yagi, who has an exhibition in the gallery, also has a gorgeous, serene painting made with trees painted on squares of mulberry paper and collaged onto a surface with sliding doors that recalls Japanese screens. Also here are Kodai Ujiie’s exceptional ceramics, which use nature’s imperfections as a springboard for creating surfaces that bubble and crackle and crawl. Here, the vessel is treated like a body and the glaze like skin that is living, breathing, and perfectly imperfect.
