The Beauty in Teppei Ono’s Cathartic Clay
Teppei Ono is a celebrated Japanese contemporary ceramic artist whose practice is a powerful dialogue between raw, untamed energy and the quiet resilience of everyday life. Born in 1958, his path began with a deep rebellion against the constraints of modern society, driving him to seek freedom through the elemental medium of clay.After apprenticing in the historic pottery center of Tokoname under the legendary Ryoji Koie, Ono moved to the serene mountains of Kochi Prefecture in 1998. Living a disciplined, rhythmic life surrounded by nature, he kneads local Kochi clay by hand and fires it in wood-burning kilns he built himself. This intimate process is often physical and even "violent"; he has described his early work as an outlet for sharp, aggressive impulses. However, at the age of 40, h...

An In-Depth Look at Hypeart and Bonhams’ ‘Under the Same Sky’ Exhibition
Across the vast landscape of artmaking since the late 20th century, artists on the West Coast have explored many thresholds and states of being — decay and seduction, struggle and release, birth and aftermath. Embracing new materials and social realities, artists turned inward, while engaging with the energies unraveling around them. The lines between interior and exterior give way. Embodiment, emotion and environment fold into one another under the same sky. This is a careful dance best exemplified in Ernie Barnes’ Sketch for Boxing No. 2 (circa 1984). The intense and energetic composition suspends conflict at a midpoint when force gives way to a moment of mutual recognition. Rather than a rigorous struggle for power or display of brute force, the strength of each boxer emanates through ...
