Tanoue Shinya, Japanese ceramic artist
quotes
"I enjoy teaching, in fact I feed off of it. I would like to be teaching a lot more and making less to be completely honest. Why, you might ask, would anyone want to make less? I feel that my work needs to be restricted behind a dam so to speak so that when I release it or it breaks free, it comes out with serious intensity."
Ian Shelly, Ceramics Now Magazine (October 2011)
"Employing a dramatic narrative structure in which a swine appears as protagonist, Bang acutely captures our diverse daily emotions – depression, anxiety, desire, obsession, loss, hallucination, horror – from the viewpoint of an animal. His small, cute swine characters echo viewers who think of them logically and rationally as weak, poor animals."
