34 — Wednesday, June 10, 1992 — North Shore News LM ORT, Award-winning ceramics on display at Bernadette’s FOR THOSE of you who haven't visited Government House in Victoria lately, Bernadette’s Galleries at 1200 Lonsdale Avenue is exhibiting the award-winn- ing table setting that was made exclusively for the lieutenant-governor’s official residence. By Evelyn Jacob Now Report The contemporary blue and white seven-piece porcelain set- ting, inlaid with cranes and feather details, is the work of Richmond artist Kinichi Shigeno, who studied at the Prefectural Ceramic Training Schoo} in Japan and apprenticed for seven years with master potter Masaru Kamei. Shigeno’s work won the Mur- chie’s Award for place setting in the Table of Honour competition that was organized by West Van- couver art consultant Merla Beckerman, and Contemporary Art Collections. The exhibit at Bernadette’s was organized by retired North Van- couver District Parks Events Coor- dinator Rete McKay. The setting and other work created by the Japanese-born ceramic astist will be on display until June 16. Inspired by ancient Japanese art, Shigeno has combined the old with the new in this body of work. Traditiona! blue and white vases are displayed next to contem- porary, hurrorous wall pieces such as an apple sliced into the shape of six pieces of pizza. Shigeno has turned a woman’s spiked-heel! shoe into a piece of art by creating — ee a pattern that is typical of tradi- tional Japanese lacquer boxes. Much of his art employs vivid greens, blues, reddish-browns and yellows, gold and silver, against a solid dark or light background. For Shigeno, the most important element of his art is pattern, recur- ting patterns found in nature. His most common one is a multi- colored target and smal! green leaves. “My wife hates it,’ he grins. . Shigeno has shown his work at the official opening of the Cana- dian Embassy in Tokyo and exhib- ited throughout Canada, the U.S., New Zealand, Italy and Japan. While most potters create func- tional pieces, form is all-important. “Ceramics has a 3-D form,” he says. “It has a relationship with sculpture. Therefore, every side ‘should be beautiful.” Great Pacific leads the way in WAS 6é e Cruise of The fun starts Thursday, June 18 - 6:30 p.m. Phone for tickets and information Price inclades FULL BUFFET DINNER S&B 5 S soee Emerald Park Restaurant H 350 East 2nd Street, North Vancouver 988-8353 th es NO HIDDEN COSTS! _ value with our ‘one-price’ policy.
