About the Work

This publication is a collection of ceramic works by the famous Chinese artist Ma Huiyuan. His ceramic works won the highest prize (First Prize/Foreign Minister Award) in the 12th International Ceramic Triennial Mino, Japan. In November 2022, invited by the Museum of Modern Ceramic Art, Gifu, the Ma Huiyuan Ceramic Art Exhibition was held. This picture album is custom-designed for his solo exhibition in Japan. The overall picture album presents a gray and white tone, and the text on the gray letter sleeve adopts hot stamping process, presenting a looming visual experience, echoing the concept of “none utensil.” The hard white cover adopts a 45-degree die-cutting process, showing a sense of volume of the cube. And the glossy material highlights the attributes and temperament of the artist’s “porcelain.” Two-color printing is used for the text on the inner pages of the album, and the glossy paper quality echoes the texture of “porcelain” again. The works are divided into three sections for editing, namely white series, gray series and other series. The part of gray series is presented in the form of many folded pages, which is determined according to the size of the artist’s work, and also increases the rhythm of reading.
