Ryo Toyonaga
Ceramic Sculpture, 2002
Shortly after moving to NYC from Japan, Ryo began creating ceramic works that appeared to emerge from the earth itself, perhaps from the depths of the ocean or recesses deep in forgotten mines. During the 1990s, Toyonaga worked exclusively in clay. As the organic energy flowed and changed within his imagination, Toyonaga expanded his vocabulary of expression and materials, including the introduction of red wax in 2002 and bronze and aluminum casting in 2004.
Ryo Toyonaga was born in Matsuyama, Japan, in 1960. He moved to New York City in 1986 and began creating unique and innovative ceramic works that appeared to emerge from the earth itself, perhaps from the depths of the ocean or recesses deep in forgotten mines. During the 1990s, Toyonaga worked exclusively in hand-sculpted clay. The forms developed organically and spontaneously from Toyonaga’s unconscious, without any drawings or plans prior to the making.
