The Breath of the Earth Hidden in the Wrinkles of Time|Shanghai Exhibition

✨Exhibition name: Stepping on the Earth 📍Location: Lisson Gallery 📅Exhibition period: 2025.2.22-4.19 👨🏻‍🎨Artist: Masaomi Yasunaga 🌋Standing in front of the sculpture of Masaomi Yasunaga, it seems as if I can hear the rustling of the hourglass of time. The Japanese sculptor transformed the codes of time on Europe's cobblestone roads into a stunning visual poem. Who understands! Those seemingly hard glazes will actually stretch into unknown shapes like flowing clouds in the 1300℃ flames. ⛰️What touched me most in the exhibition hall was the mosaic code that covered the entire wall. The artist transformed the cobblestone road that has been trampled thousands of times into an impromptu dance of glaze and flame. Each block of color looks like wrinkles ironed by time, with a thrilling sense of order in the mottled appearance. “We are creating landscapes with every step, like the mosaics of the ancient Greeks,” he said. At this moment I suddenly understood - it turns out that we are all the brushstrokes of history. 🗻Those suspended container sculptures are even more amazing! The glaze prepared using a special process collapses freely in the kiln fire and eventually freezes into an organic form like a coral reef. The dark silver texture hides the breathing holes of bubbles, and when you look closer, you can actually see tiny golden sands flashing. The artist said that this is "the beauty of the origin without human will." Indeed, these works are like bones grown from the earth itself. 🏔️It is recommended to wear light-colored clothes to take photos. Sculptures in dark spaces will have their own soft light filter! ~~~~~~
