MODERN REMAINS
Porcelain Sculpture
SOLO Exhibition
at KEIKO Gallery 2007
|
Takeuchifs white porcelain sculptures are composed of numerous hollow rectangular prisms, some parts deconstructed.@Depending upon where the light hits the piece, it can evoke a staircase, a construction site, or a city skyscraper.@Takeuchi used the Mayan ruins for inspiration and wanted to mirror that same quality of beauty that is affected by time. Knowing that a rectangle is not a shape found in nature, Takeuchi used the form to further convey his idea of a manmade piece being damaged throughout time. After constructing the original piece formed by the hollow rectangles, Takeuchi takes a hammer to his piece and allows for sections of his work to bread off and reveal what is underneath. Like the mysterious Mayan ruins, Takeuchi uses the idea of accidents wearing down the original to expose another kind of beauty once unseen.@The static clean lines juxtaposed with the rough fragmentations create the energy that can be felt in Takeuchifs work.
