Yoca Muta
Based on the ceramic painting techniques of Kutani ware, Muta uses the medium of ceramics to reinterpret the marginalized female figure and interpretations of nature within Japanese culture. Her central focus in recent works is the yamanba, or “mountain hag,” of Japanese folklore—a character known for embodying contradictory qualities such as motherliness and violence, blessing and terror,and the sacred and the vulgar. Despite being an established part of Japanese traditional folklore,the yamanba is also a representation of femininity that deviates from established systems and order.
The female figures depicted in Muta’s ceramic paintings are not externally objectified as “women to admire,” but instead constructed from the perspective existing within the female artist herself. Therein, nature transcends the role of mere background; it is depicted as an extension of the body and emotions, merging reality and fiction as well as real and imaginary presences. The uneven, hand-built forms and the painting process also express the fluctuating, multi-layered nature of female bodies and experiences into a visible form.
For this exhibition, her works are on display in a small space at the rear of the ground floor, facing the canal. Situated at the boundary between the city and the water, the interior and the exterior, this low-ceilinged space with its exposed rustic wood accentuates the marginality and ambiguity of her work. Here, the image of the yamanba does not represent oppression or fear. Rather, it is a silent yet powerful vision that reconnects the female body with nature, resonating with the time of Venice.

ARTISTS
Yoca Muta
Born in Tokyo in 1981, Muta graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London, with a BA in Fine Arts in 2008, and from Ishikawa Prefectural Kutani Ware Technical Training Institute in 2012. She pursues a unique style of expression based on the ceramic painting technique she learned from the traditional Kutani ware in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture. For Muta, painting means depicting a scene through the accumulation of production processes, from shaping the clay to underdrawings, glazing, and overglaze painting. Although shaping clay is regarded as the “background” realm, she seeks to incorporate the tactile qualities achieved through hand-building into the “image” to create a unified beauty with integrity. Her artistic expression embraces the evolution of the “view of nature,” based on her in-depth study of existing ceramic painting designs. Rather than viewing the designs as mere depictions of nature, she focuses on the emotions toward nature that are captured by the craftspeople of their time, such as admiration, desire, reverence, and fear. Like an icon of such an imperfect human mind, Muta’s color paintings emerge as a harmonious blend of reality and illusion, real existence and fiction, motion and stillness.
Her major exhibitions include Cheongju Craft Biennale (Cheongju, South Korea, 2023), Go for Kogei 2021 (Otaki-Okamoto Shrines, Fukui Prefecture, 2021). Major awards include the Grand Prize at the 11th Paramita Museum Ceramic Art Grand Prize Exhibition (2016). Her work is housed at the National Crafts Museum, Paramita Museum, and the Kutani Porcelain Art Museum.

這個裝置由三只代表不同世代的壺組成。大型壺與坐墊等元素同樣是作品的一部分。它們每一個都可以獨立存在，但透過不同的組合與擺放方式，會生成新的關係，使整體轉化為另一種作品。這種轉化並不會削弱每件作品的意義或本質，而是在保持它們的同時不斷增加彼此之間的關聯，從而呈現出層次與敘事的變化。
在我看來，這既是一個整體的裝置作品，同時又是一組各自獨立的藝術對象。對我而言，這正體現了工藝的本質：材料與物件會因空間、時間與組合方式的不同而改變它們的角色、性質與意義，並在某些時刻匯聚為一個更大的整體。
旧作と新作を組み合わせたインスタレーション作品、「transversal 山水壺」を発表予定です。山水は人間社会から離れた自然への憧憬のシンボルとして描かれてきました。この作品では、背景の山水を通して三つの壺が過去から未来、異なる世代や人物像を繋げる装置のようなものである考えています。インスタレーション「transversal山水壺」は三つの世代を表した壺で構成されます。大きな壺やクッションは一つ一つが作品であり、組み合わせや配置の仕方によって関係性があらわれ、新たな作品へと変容します。個々の作品の意味を保ちつつ、層や物語が重なっていきます。これは、私にとって工芸のあり方、―素材や物が、空間や時間、組合わせ、などによってその役割や性質、意味を変容させながら時にまとまりとして存在しうる―に繋がっています。
