Ecco che dalle ceneri della Galerie Besson nasce una nuova galleria.  La linea di continuità è abbastanza chiara, uno dei fondatori è l'ex manager di Galerie Besson, ma siamo tutti contenti che ci siano degli eredi !Allora si parte come si era terminato ( o quasi ) con Michikawa 

Good Luck !

OPENING EXHIBITION

SHOZO MICHIKAWA

16 November - 9 December 2011

Erskine, Hall & Coe's inaugural exhibition is of pots by the Japanese artist Shozo Michikawa.

Shozo Michikawa lives and works in Seto, a home to potters for 1300 years. His work has been exhibited internationally, including a landmark exhibition in 2005 in Beijing's Forbidden City.

This exhibition will comprise of twenty-five works, the majority from his latest firing.

Angus Stewart, in an essay accompanying the exhibition, declares:

"... Michikawa's originality calls out for attention. He offers freshness, technical prowess and figurative puzzles that irk and stimulate the alert. The traditions he draws on date back to the cave dwellers. Michikawa's excellence as a technician, his empathy with natural phenomena, and his outstanding artistry, are something to shout about."
