At WHAAM! gallery, the inaugural US solo exhibition by Japan-based artist ancco titled “Turnover” has been revealed. This extraordinary showcase presents a fresh collection of ceramic sculptures within an enveloping installation. The exhibit explores ideas surrounding time, change, and resilience, intricately intertwining personal and societal cycles into a deeply reflective body of work.
Based on her personal struggles with atopic eczema, ancco’s art is significantly influenced. She delves into the swift deterioration that can be observed in both the human body and society, examining its impact on her creative journey. By drawing a comparison between the rapid regeneration of her own skin and the ceaseless change in contemporary culture, she converts her personal hardship into artistic manifestation.
A significant influence on the creation of “Turnover” was found in secondhand toys and plush animals from eBay, browsed during late nights. Though worn, they were treasured, carrying stories through faded patches, fingerprints, and scars – symbols of their resilience. Similarly, the artist’s ceramic sculptures showcase this same flaw, featuring cracks and color discrepancies that accentuate the charm of decay.
From a dedicated admirer’s perspective, moths consistently captivate my attention, representing a blend of sorrow and allure. They serve as a personal reminder of a health condition, symbolizing an intricate bond between my body and the surrounding environment. Similarly, ancco’s enchantment with dollhouses enables them to bend time and space, creating miniature worlds where they can momentarily pause the unyielding tempo of reality.
The exhibition is on view until April 5 at WHAAM! in New Yor.
