Published on the occasion of Shingu Sayaka & Oishi Sayaka's duo show at Dai Ichi Arts, October 2024.
In this exhibition, flora and fauna converge, giving rise to captivating contemporary ceramics. Through the work of two young women artists from a new generation of contemporary ceramics in Japan, this show expands the potential of "decoration" as a primary mode of artistic expression, as seen through the contemporary perspectives of Shingu Sayaka and Oishi Sayaka.
Both artists from Kansai, who share the same given name and have become fast friends, have explored the tension between form, function, and surface to create new works in dialogue with one another.
