Shihodo Gallery will be holding the solo exhibition \u201cSota Nakashima Exhibition: Planet -Memory of Soil-\u201c.
\nUtilizing the long-lasting characteristics of ceramics, Sota Nakashima expresses the decay of natural objects such as bones and fallen trees. The detailed realistic expressions and the artist\u2019s unique perspective create a new world view.
\nWe hope you will experience the sensation of moving between reality and unreality.<\/p>\n

Artist’s statement<\/h4>\n

When animals die out in nature, they decay and are decomposed by various living creatures and returned to the soil. New shoots emerge from the soil, and eventually the trees die and become nutrients for the soil again.
\nThe clay we are dealing with is also made up of rocks that have been transformed over a long period of time. In the long run, rocks themselves are also in a cycle.
\nWith this theme of the cycle of soil and living creatures, I create motifs such as bones, seeds, and rotting wood that suggest endings and beginnings.
\nIn my works, I embody phenomena that seem unlikely to occur in reality, mixing the decay of bones and fallen trees with the long-lasting characteristics of ceramics.
\nI hope that my works will make viewers feel the space between reality and unreality, and encourage them to think about clay as a material, nature, living creatures, people, and circulation.<\/p>\n
