This time, I would like to introduce Chihiro Ohara’s “Creating Before Eating” Exhibition -Ceramics and Paintings-.
He pursues the shapes of familiar objects such as vases, food, vessels, and cats with his unique expression. In this exhibition, along with ceramic works, we will also exhibit paintings that “paint before eating”. The Ohara world that makes the viewer smile is fully open. Please take this opportunity to have a look.
