Jennifer Lee : ceramics & drawing

Event

Sokyo Gallery (Kyoto) is pleased to present “Jennifer Lee: ceramics and drawings.” This will be her third solo exhibition at Sokyo, following shows in 2015 and 2018. She won the LOEWE Craft Prize in 2018 bringing her greater international recognition and acclaim. In 2021 she was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her contribution to ceramics, this further expanded her reputation as one of Britain’s leading ceramic artists, following Lucie Rie and Hans Coper. In the past five years nine works have been acquired by public collections. Her works are unglazed; rather, she mixes clays with metal oxides to create subtly contrasting bands of color in her elegantly balanced forms. This exhibition is her first show in Japan for five years and will feature ten hand-built vessels, twenty yunome, a slab and five drawings. We hope you will take this opportunity to visit the exhibition.
