GALLERY crossing is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by artist Yu UNO. This is his first solo exhibition at the gallery, and he will be showing new works, mainly paintings made of ceramics. We hope you will take this opportunity to visit the exhibition.

We try to preserve unforgettable memories by writing, drawing, and photographing them, but it is impossible to remember every single moment completely. Memories fade over time, important details are lost, contradictions arise, and yet we still hold on to what remains, carefully preserving fragments of our memories. Yu UNO captures his own unforgettable memories on clay and transforms them into pottery by firing them in a kiln. He believes that pottery is something that has been pushed forward in time by human hands, and by breaking it into pieces, he brings back his own sense of reality. He hopes to capture the vividness of memories and transform the fleeting moments into eternal light, giving them a new form as pottery. When we gaze upon the shattered paintings that have been brought back to life on paper, we may realize that our traces of life are preserved through such continuous acts.
