URLANDSCHAFT, Woaw Gallery Central

Japanese multidisciplinary artist En Iwamura is making his solo debut in Asia with Woaw Gallery, where he will be presenting his ceramic sculpture series “Neo Jomon: Beans”, fanciful, dynamic round forms with cartoonish expressions that evoke childlike innocence, a deliberate contrast to the state of confusion and chaos that we currently experience in our world. Titled URLANDSCHAFT, which translates to “primaeval landscape” in English, the exhibition is an exploration of the primitive human heart and our mental landscape.
