Shinichi Sawada

James Cohan, New York
52 Walker Street
March 4 - April 1, 2023
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 4 from 5-7PM

James Cohan, New York is pleased to present a solo exhibition of sculptures by self-taught ceramicist Shinichi Sawada (b. Japan, 1982) opening on March 4, 2023 from 5-7PM at the gallery’s 52 Walker location. Since 2000, Sawada has attended Nakayoshi Fukushikai – a social welfare organization for disabled individuals – where he creates ceramics that are fired in a hand-made wooden oven. While rooted in traditional techniques, Sawada’s ceramics possess an ornamental beauty that is both free and informal. Sawada’s hauntingly expressive and chimerical sculptures suggest meditative spiked and thorned bodies that hover between human-animal and spirit-god forms. This exhibition is presented in partnership with Jennifer Lauren Gallery, United Kingdom.
