Sea View and ATLA are pleased to present, Ceramic Salon 陶芸サロン, a group exhibition that merges Japanese and Californian practices into a dialogue around the rich history and innovations of clay.

Ceramic Salon 陶芸サロン showcases an intergenerational range of traditional and contemporary craftsmanship, offering insights into how ceramic reflects and shapes cross-cultural narratives between Japan and California.

Spanning both galleries at Sea View, the ceramic works will be displayed on shallow shelves beneath the paintings by Brazilian artist Beatrice Arraes in her current exhibition Jogo de Mesa, which makes for an apt intimate pairing around materiality, time, and transformation.

ATLA is a contemporary art gallery rooted in both Los Angeles and Tokyo, focused on the reverence of craft. Named in homage to the Japanese word atara, which loosely translates to the sorrow experienced when something beautiful is no longer celebrated, ATLA honors slow, deliberate practices and fosters conversations about history, heritage, politics, and identity through craftsmanship and artistry.
