Vernissage «Fractured Surface» by Kuro Yaki

Kuro Yaki stands for minimalist ceramic art that works exclusively with black clay and black porcelain. The focus is on experimenting with dark glazes, which create exciting contrasts in combination with the raw, matt surface of the black material and shiny accents.

Under the name "Fractured Surface", the exhibition shows objects and photographs. The works reflect the Japanese "Wabi Sami" philosophy and show the vitality of the material.

About the artist:

Born in Switzerland in 1972, Kuro Yaki's creative journey began with an education at the St. Gallen Art School. His career in the visual arts developed through roles as a graphic designer and art director in renowned advertising agencies, where he honed his eye for aesthetics and storytelling. He currently works as a product designer for digital products.

Kuro Yaki's passion for ceramic art was sparked by inspiring trips to Japan, where he was deeply impressed by the beauty of traditional craftsmanship and the philosophy of wabi-sabi. His exploration of the aesthetics of Shou Sugi Ban and traditional Japanese ceramic techniques began his journey into the world of ceramics. His works harmoniously combine tradition and modernity and focus on minimalism, structure and the play of light and shadow. Today, his pieces reflect this vision.
