KAB Event - Satoru Hoshino “Black Horse in the Dark

Satoru Hoshino “Black Horse in the Dark - Primordial Perception”

Art Court Gallery

This event has ended.

Presenting the solo exhibition of Satoru Hoshino, a ceramic-based artist active both in Japan and abroad. This exhibition will focus in particular on large-scale installations with smoked earthenware. Satoru Hoshino was originally accepted into the group Sōdeisha (a representative group of avant-garde ceramists in post-war Japan) by core member Kazuo Yagi, and participated as a member artist between 1974 and 1980.
Hoshino has just been in the spotlight at Dominique Lévy Gallery in New York, in a two-person exhibition entitled “Body and Matter” with Kazuo Shiraga. The title clearly expresses the commonality between these two artists, focusing on the creative agency of using their own bodies. Hoshino has adopted a primitive method, or technique, of pressing a lump of clay with his fingers and the palm of his hand, which leaves traces of physical actions. The exhibition in New York explored new aspects of possibilities in Hoshino’s creations with a growing extent towards a wider view of contemporary art surrounding the genre of ceramics.
For the first time in a decade in Japan, Hoshino will attempt large-scale installations. We hope this exhibition will broaden the new horizons of his creations.
