Alicia Bay-Laurel and Yoko Hijioka Exhibition of paintings and vessels at Sisson Gallery, Daikanyama, Tokyo

Sison Corporation (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) will hold an exhibition of paintings and vessels by Alicia Bay-Laurel and Yoko Hijioka from November 10 to 19, 2023 at SISON GALLERY in Daikanyama, Tokyo.

Alicia & Yoko

Alicia Bay-Laurel is an artist whose book "Living On The Earth" was published in 1970 as a guide to living with nature while living in a hippie commune in California and has a worldwide readership. His advocacy of organic living remains unchanged today, and he continues to share his ideas through art and music.

Sisson Gallery is holding a solo exhibition of his work in 2018.

This time, in addition to the original drawings of "Living On The Earth" (Living On The Earth) and her previous paintings, she will be showing her new works.

Alicia's drawing

Yoko Hijioka, a ceramic artist in Kagoshima, Japan, creates pottery with textures that seem to blend into nature, sometimes using gold paint that shines dully, and warm white pieces that show her gentle and warm personality.

I first encountered Alicia's book, "Living on the Earth," when I was starting out as a pottery maker.

I grew up in the city, and the world of Alicia's book seemed like a fairy tale to me. Since then, I have been yearning to create pottery that would be a part of my daily life, and I think this has led me to my current desire to create pottery that would be a part of my daily life. I am very honored to be working with them.

Yoko Hijioka

I would like to thank everyone for allowing me to present a two-person exhibition with ceramic artist Yoko Hijioka at Sisson Gallery. I really wish I could come to Japan to be with you all, but my partner is ill and I will not be able to go to Japan. Please accept my best wishes for a wonderful winter season for all of you!"

Alicia Bay-Laurel

Alicia has been a fan and friend of mine for 20 years, and Hijioka-san is a favorite of mine, and I felt that their underlying thoughts and the textures of their work resonate beautifully with each other. This is also the first joint exhibition of two artists at Sisson Gallery.
