Arlene Shechet is an artist born in New York in 1951. She is known for her plastic art: her genre-defying ceramics and hybrid sculptures that blend metal, clay, and wood into distinctive forms that are at once architectural, organic, and mechanical. Composed of disparate materials and abstracted in form, these works are imbued with psychological and emotional resonances that invite the viewer to pause and reflect. Shechet’s first solo exhibition in Japan brings together new and recent works in a tenuous boundary between stillness and movement, similar to those of Japanese art and material culture that have long inspired the artist.
