AISHONANZUKA is pleased to present the solo exhibition “Circle of Life” showcasing works by Joakim Ojanen on view from 16 September to 14 October, 2023.

“Circle of Life” narrates the ambiguity as a visual language of creativity, relationships between life and the universe. Circle is one of the oldest symbols since ancient times. It is the balance between Yin and Yang; it is a perfect Full Moon; it is the divine symbol in Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci; the universe in Alchemy. The circle is endless, and hence infinity, as its existence revolves forever.

The circle is believed to be intimately connected to the thoughts and emotions of its creator. Joakim's large-scale ceramic works Circle of Life represents the artist's unlimited creativity and curiosity for the meaning of life. This circle composed by ceramic works of human, animals, and plants invites the audience to peer through the soul of the artist, to retrospect our relationships with others, and the nature.

The artist will be joining us at Landmark during the opening reception. Feel free to stop by and join the party!

Opening Reception: Sep 16, 2023 (SAT), 5 - 7 pm

Gallery address: Shop 116, 1/F, Landmark Atrium, 15 Queen's Road Central
