Ceramics as a territory of organic experimentation.
Between nature and contemporary abstraction
Originally from Kyoto Prefecture, Kurokawa Tōru is part of a generation of Japanese ceramists pushing the boundaries of utility. His work, marked by a keen attention to textures and forms, reflects a desire to reinvent the relationship between earth, fire, and space. While adhering to the Japanese tradition of respect for materials, he develops a bold aesthetic, nourished by abstraction and references to the organic world.
