Exhibition

This exhibition presents paintings and ceramic works, with the ceramic works emerging from the interplay between two and three dimensions, combining interpretations of painted imagery with the physical presence of sculpted form.

Ryu Takeda’s paintings evoke the imagery of accidental stains or scars. He compares the act of painting to an excavation, aiming to unearth the unconscious realm that has been lost through verbalization and classification.

Ryu Takeda was born in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan in 1989, and is currently based in Tokyo. He graduated from the Department of Sculpture at Musashino Art University in 2016.
