About the Artist
Tradition Living on in Modern Geometric Patterns
Ceramic artist Yukifumi Tada has established his unique world of art with the rich tradition of Kutani ware at the base. While bringing out the best in the material such as the texture of the clay, pigments and metal material, he creates original patterns that elevate the artwork from concreteness to abstraction. He creates modern and sophisticated vessels with his original geometric patterns and gold and silver decorations.
His excellent techniques and outstanding creativity has been highly evaluated, and he has received many awards including the Japan Kōgei Association New Artist Award at the 62nd Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition in 2015, and the 50th Anniversary Grand Award at the 50th Ceramics Traditional Kōgei Exhibition in 2022.
Style
I was born in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and my family background includes my grandfather, who taught glaze at an art university, and my father, a craft artist; after working as a salary-man, I joined the world of ceramic art. I make the best use of the Kutani ware texture, overglaze colors, metals and other traditional materials, and produce ceramics with an emphasis on creative design patterns, which bring out abstractness from concreteness.
