Speaking of "low pixels", various thoughts will immediately flash through my mind, including "eight-bit"; "video games", "Lego", "plastic", "colorful", etc. Similarly, mention When it comes to "ceramics", there are also many adjectives with specific attributes. Japanese artist Toshiya Masuda thought that it would be very interesting to combine these two elements and create an "eight-bit style ceramic work"!
The outlines of daily objects such as iron teapots, ashtrays, flowers, and fried eggs in pans are all pixelated. At first glance, no one would doubt that they were toys made of Lego. On the contrary, they would think Very well put together! Little did you know that these are ceramics that break easily when dropped, and this sense of conflict is also an issue that Masuda wants to explore.
After people live to a certain age, they often rely on past experiences to look at things, and without thinking, they conclude that "this must be xxx." Masuda deliberately challenges this behavior and publishes the ceramic work "Image Gap".
When people hear that this is an exhibition of ceramic works, they will imagine a lot of images about ceramics. When they see the actual product, they will be confused by its eight-bit appearance, at least through a computer screen.Look, they look like a pile of bricks. Who would have thought that they are all made of ceramics!
