From Lump to Creation
Takashi Kawai
March 7 – April 19, 2025
With each drop of water, even a solid block begins to come alive. Fascinated by what initially seems shapeless and unrefined gradually becomes something meaningful with every subtle touch. Time dissolves, leaving just me, the clay, and the process. Ceramics hold that unique place between art and functionality, creating a lasting impact through their blend of form, texture, and purpose. The beauty of handmade ceramics lies in how each piece brings art into daily routines, from a coffee cup to a sculptural centerpiece. Every touchpoint with these objects enhances life with both artistry and practicality, making each piece truly special and personal.
Takashi Kawai has been passionately engaged with ceramics at the Rosewood Arts Center since 2013. Before embarking on his artistic journey, he had a distinguished career as an architect, lending his expertise to projects across the United States, Japan, and Thailand. Now enjoying his retirement, Takashi has turned his focus to the intricate and expressive medium of ceramics, where he channels his creativity and design skills into creating beautiful works of art.
