From Brisbane’s Mount Coot-tha to the Seto Inland Sea of Japan, artist Kenji Uranishi has sought inspiration from both his homeland and adopted home, in ‘Kenji Uranishi: Momentary’, an exhibition of ceramic works.
Commissioned by the Museum of Brisbane, Kenji has pushed his practice to create more than 50 new forms and shapes, responding to the importance of place and the role of the city through his artworks. ‘Momentary’ marks the first exhibition in which the Japanese-born artist has incorporated slip-cast sculpture in his practice, after learning new techniques from a master mould maker during an artist residence in Arita, Japan in 2014.
