Dai Ichi Arts is pleased to present an inaugural summer pop-up exhibition in London, United Kingdom, dedicated to the Japanese ceramic tea bowl, or chawan.
Featuring 50 contemporary tea bowls, the exhibition brings together important Japanese contemporary ceramic artists who have reimagined the chawan through experimental forms, inventive glazing techniques, and expanded proportions. This group of tea bowls trace the expressive potential of the tea bowl, showing traditional works alongside works that introduce new expression to the form as both a functional object and a work of art.
Presenting at 67 York Street Gallery in Marylebone, London, the tea bowls in this exhibition bring tactile and artistic expression within the gallery context, encouraging viewers' direct engagement with clay. We warmly welcome you to join us in a new gallery space in the United Kingdom for the first time this summer!
