patterns and shapes.

JUN KANEKO - Kaneko’s Dango forms are world renowned; both peaceful and powerful, strong yet
gentle. Ranging from medium to colossal, his work maintains a strict consistency that allows the viewer to

experience, as Kaneko’s glazes take on a life of their own. His compositions are thoughtful, precise, and compliment the powerful, rounded surface they are united with.
