About Artist:
Thomas Kakinuma was a highly regarded mid-century potter and sculptor, born 1908 in Japan, living and working in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia throughout his life till 1982. Throughout the 1950s and 60s, his ceramic art was celebrated across Canada, and received significant international recognition. Interest waned in his stylized pottery and sculptures by the mid 1970s, as modernism in general fell out of fashion. With the passage of time, and the passing of original owners, Kakinuma’s work has started to resurface, and once again is capturing attention. In our era of intellectualized and dematerialized art practices, it is a great pleasure to encounter art intended to inhabit the personal realm, and art that generates attachment.
