AIFA is thrilled to be participating at its first Asia Now edition Art Fair in Paris, 21-23 October 2022

Duo Show - Aya Kawato / Kenji Gomi

AIFA will exhibit artworks by two artists representing distinctive approaches to Japanese contemporary art.
Kenji Gomi uses clay in his perpetual quest to form the perfect shape; a technique that has its roots in more than fifteen thousand years of Japanese pottery history. Driven by the completing of a shape where universality and uniqueness coexist, Kenji’s art making process places firing at the core of his creation and does not leave space to the unpredictable.
Aya Kawato paints canvas expressing both control and imperfection, as an inevitable pattern of manual work, plunging viewers' minds into perceptive spheres beyond common reach. A search for a beauty precisely engendered by the misalignment between what is seen and what is perceived. Randomness then becomes the quintessence of Aya’s work and procures her works with fascinating unique patterns.
