I visited a two-person show by ceramicist Kisen Miyaoka and sculptor Gensho Sugawara.
The venue is KIYOSHI ART SPACE, a gallery in Roppongi.

In Sugawara’s sculptural works, the pedestals themselves are now integrated as FRP, and the overall quality feels increasingly refined.
The pairing with photographs was also superb, giving me the impression that the three-dimensional works have become even stronger.
