WAMONO ART is proud to announce VOIDS, the first solo exhibition by Tsukasa Soda              (b. 1978, Japan), a promising Japanese young artist in the field of contemporary ceramic art. This is the first ever solo exhibition of Tsukasa Soda and brings for the first time 10 new works to an exhibition. Fascinated by the uniqueness and creativity of his works, wamono art has been working with Tsukasa Soda since the beginning of his career as a ceramic artist. Soda’s works were accepted in two competitions which are known as gateways for young ceramic artists: in 2019 for the 8th Kikuchi Biennale and in 2022 for the 5th Triennale of Kogei in Kanazawa “Craft Visions”.

The exhibition title VOIDS refers to the round spaces that appear in every one of Soda’s works and this empty space is the core for his creative motivation. Soda once commented, “I was fascinated by the sight of light leaking through the gaps between the trees and shining under the calm sky”. He manifested the beauty of this scene and his feeling towards these glimpses of light in his early works. Over the years, however, he added philosophical meaning in these empty spaces. The act of creating the round spaces could be interpreted as an artist’s prayer that he could be free from negative things or to free himself.
