The elegant celadon porcelain works by Kawase Shinobu originated in the artist’s great love and deep appreciation for traditional Chinese celadon. He has spent numerous hours in the galleries of Taiwan’s National Museum, trying to soak in the lessons of centuries of ceramic tradition. Indeed, he has created celadon works equal to the classic ones. Over his years of research, Kawase realized that much of the beauty and grace of Chinese celadon ceramics derive from their use of organic forms. These natural forms found their way into Kawase’s work, as can be seen in these four beautiful pieces. Kawase finds inspiration in nature, often taking formal clues from flora and fauna and translating them into elegantly minimal works of art.
