I have been a fan of the Ippodo Gallery for several years. They closed the Chelsea location and now have moved the gallery uptown and display exhibitions on an appointment only basis. A recent email from Ippodo about an upcoming show caught my eye and I wanted to share the news with you.
Sculpting 'Emptiness' features Sho Kishino's works in wood. He uses old wood from temples and shrines, fossilized wood from riverbeds, branches of bog cedar, plum bark and mulberry roots. Kishino considers Japanese sculpture to be a subtractive art that is a result of the space that is created through the removal of the material. Paring down his subjects opens them to the outer world and presents their true essence. I cannot wait to see the show.
