Un gemellaggio culturale, quello tra Zauli ed il Giappone che ha radici molto lontane<\/strong> – \u00e8 stato molto intenso lo scambio tra l\u2019artista ed il paese nipponico, con diversi cicli espositivi ospitati dalle istituzioni nipponiche tra il 1974 e il 1981 – e che grazie alle Officine Saffi si rinnova presentando una selezione di opere di Shozo Michikawa della collezione Officine Saffi e alcuni lavori inediti realizzati appositamente per la mostra<\/strong> in un\u2019installazione suggestiva nella stanza dei vecchi forni e nella cantina delle argille, ovvero in quello che era lo studio d\u2019artista di Carlo Zauli e che oggi \u00e8 diventato sede del Museo e centro culturale.<\/p>\n

The Japanese artist from Seto, one ofthe Nihon Rokkoyo, namely the six oldest pottery centers of Japan, is one of the most important exponents of the great Japanese artistic tradition. His are essential and dense works of art that are inspired by nature. “The energy of nature is truly immense.<\/p>\n

No matter how much our sciences and civilisation might evolve, the power of human beings is inconsequential in the face of natural threats such as typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, and erupting volcanoes…<\/p>\n

My own creative activities have been inspired by various phenomena in the natural world; even those that can be seen in everyday life.\u201d* His works originate from the utilitarian form of vases or bowls and are elevated to plastic art pieces.<\/p>\n

Masses of clay shaped by the sacredness of the artist’s gesture, presenting multiple cuts and facets made without Shozo never touches with his hands the work until the moment of firing. During Argill\u00e0 Festival Shozo Michikawa will hold a workshop at Museo Zauli venue demonstrating his uniqueprocess of cutting and facetting work. *Shozo Michikawa, essay from the Forbidden City Exhibition Catalogue.
