Following his presentation at Art Central Hong Kong 2026, Yumekoubou Gallery is pleased to present works by Japanese ceramic artist Kazuya Furutani at its Hong Kong gallery from May 5.
Furutani has long centered his practice on Shigaraki ware and wood firing in an anagama kiln. At temperatures exceeding 1300°C, clay transforms through its encounter with fire, ash, and currents of air. The surfaces of his works are marked by natural ash deposits and traces of flame, while fissures emerge under heat and pressure. In his practice, “rupture” does not signify an end, but rather an unfinished state — like vibrations and the sound of cracking from within a shell, suggesting the imminent emergence of something newly born.
This Hong Kong exhibition allows these forms, born in fire, to be encountered and felt anew in another space. We warmly invite those who felt a resonance with Furutani’s works at Art Central, as well as all who are interested in his practice, to visit the gallery and come closer to works that take shape through rupture.
承接 Art Central Hong Kong 2026 的展出，Yumekoubou Gallery將從5月5日起，於香港畫廊呈現日本陶藝家古谷和也（Kazuya Furutani）的創作。
古谷和也長年以信樂燒與穴窯柴燒為創作核心，在超過1300°C的高溫之中，讓土在火與氣流之間產生變化。作品表面覆蓋灰燼與火痕，裂縫於壓力中生成；而「破裂」並不意味終止，而更接近一種尚未結束的狀態——如同殼層之內的震動和碎裂之音，預示著某種即將破繭、誕生的存在。
本次香港展覽讓這些於火中誕生的形體，在另一個空間之中繼續被觀看與感受。誠摯邀請曾於 Art Central 對其作品產生共鳴的觀者，以及對古谷和也創作有興趣的朋友，走入這個空間，重新靠近那些在破裂之中生成的作品。
