Jun Kaneko<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jun Kaneko was born in Nagoya, Japan in 1942, and he currently maintains a studio in Omaha, Nebraska. Kaneko is a pioneer in the realm of monumental ceramics, but he also works in other media, including sumi ink on paper, acrylic on canvas, bronze and glass sculpture, textile design, and opera production design.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, he was hired as a set designer for a rendition of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart\u2019s 1791 masterpiece\u00a0The Magic Flute<\/em>\u00a0at the San Francisco Opera, where he displayed two monumental ceramic heads\u2014much like this work\u2014in front of the opera house.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sculpture from Kaneko\u2019s\u00a0Head\u00a0<\/em>series is an example of the large ceramic works for which Kaneko is best known. He considers the series to still be in an early \u201cexperimental stage,\u201d referencing the various questions that remain in his mind about the effects generated upon viewing the works. Regardless, Kaneko is one of the only artists in the world to produce and glaze by hand ceramics at this scale.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
