Description

Born in 1990 and based in Shigaraki, he studied at Kanazawa University of Art and graduated with a PhD in Fine Arts. He is an artist in residence at Shigaraki Cultural Park.
He produces works that are often monumental, to which he does not give a title, preferring to leave the interpretation to the viewer. After shaping and sculpting the forms by hand, he fires them in a kiln, then glazes them and fires them again at a relatively low temperature (between 1000 and 1100 degrees). Then he builds a brick kiln around each piece and raises the temperature to 500 degrees, and adds millet or rice husk, which chars the surface. It is this step in the process that will bring shimmering colors and random patterns to the surface.

In 2019, Tomonari Hashimoto held his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. He is also selected to exhibit at the “Korean International Ceramic Biennale 2019” at Icheon World Ceramic Center.

Tomonari Hashimoto was selected as one of the youngest finalists of “LOEWE Craft Prize 2019” exhibited at Sogetsu Kaikan in Tokyo. In early 2020, his work will join the permanent collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Another piece has entered LACMA and a large sculpture was recently installed in his native Wakayama Prefecture.
