Form & Flux: Contemporary East Asian Ceramics and Surface Stories

Yoshiro Ikeda’s sculptural vessels, characterized by organic forms and textured surfaces, draw inspiration from Zen aesthetics and the expressive qualities of California ceramics. Ikeda immigrated to the United States in 1960 and earned an MFA in ceramics from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He also studied at Kyoto City University of Arts under renowned ceramist Yagi Kazuo. Ikeda served as a professor of ceramics at Kansas State University from 1978 to 2012, becoming a Distinguished Professor in 2004.
