SUMMARY:Samsara: Sculptures by Sho Kishino
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK\, NY – Ippodo Gallery New York is pleased to announce the inaugural\nexhibition of our newly reopened galleries with Samsara: Sculptures by Sho Kishino.\nThis show of over forty works\, the artist’s second solo exhibition in the United\nStates\, will be on view from September 10 to October 8\, 2020\, by appointment only.\nSho Kishino (b. 1972) was raised in Kyoto\, and many of the themes of his works reflect the\ncity’s role as Japan’s cultural capital and center of traditional arts\, deep history with Zen\nBuddhism\, and connection to surrounding nature. Kishino’s study of Zen and engagement with\nBuddhist practitioners and monks\, as well as the temples and shrines that have formed the\nbackdrop of life in Kyoto for centuries\, have influenced every facet of his art. His use of\nnatural and reclaimed materials\, from river stones to bog-wood to timbers from old temples\,\nyokes the natural world to the subtle\, subtractive aesthetic of his sculptures.\nKishino has cited the work of the Swiss artist and sculptor Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) as\na significant influence on his style and practice. Giacometti strove to recreate his impression of\nhis subjects\, and believed that by blurring the borders of his sculptures he could evoke his\nsubject’s natural essence. Studying Giacometti’s works\, Kishino concluded that sculpture\nshould not be solely concerned with form. Rather\, Kishino places greater importance on the\ndynamic between the object’s internal and external space. He uses light and shadows\, empty\nspace and subtle interventions to create expressions\, meanings\, and relationships between time\nand nature that extend beyond the strictly physical forms of the works. \n\nThis exhibition is titled Samsara: Sculptures by Sho Kishino. Through these pieces\, the artist explores themes of creation\, renewal\, and\nspiritual awakening. In Buddhism\, samsara indicates the beginningless cycle of birth\, life\, death\, and rebirth. It is upon realizing this\nfundamental reality that Buddhists may free themselves from the chain of rebirth and become awakened spiritual beings. Kishino has\ndescribed his creative process as a search for the light of the Buddha’s teachings\, a light that can help heal unease in the world.\nTogether with Ippodo Gallery\, Kishino presents these meditative works as a prayer\, an offer of salvation to overcome these challenging times. \n\nImage:\nSho Kishino\nSamsara: Sculptures by Sho Kishino\nCourtesy of Ippodo Gallery
