Junko Kitamura

Back to Works > >

 
 
      Born Kyoto, Japan 1956. Kitamura completed her graduate course in ceramics at the Kyoto City University of Art in 1987 and maintains a studio in Tokyo. She has won prizes for her work from the Siga Prefecture Art Exhibition (1983), twice from the Kyoto Art and Crafts Exhibition (1984 and 1985), and the World Triennial Exhibition of Small Ceramics, Zagreb, Croatia (1997). Kitamura's thrown vessels are made of black stoneware. While still damp, she will sharpen a piece of bamboo and meticulously penetrate freehand geometric patterns throughout the walls of her works and fill the indentations with white slip, creating a unique version of inlay. Kitamura has exhibited widely throughout Japan and the USA with solo shows at Gallery Koyanagi, Tokyo, Japan; and Garth Clark Gallery in New York. Her work is also included in the collections of British Museum in London; the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY; the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC.
