GOWEN is delighted to open Crossings, a joint exhibition with works by Swiss artist Maria Ceppi (b. 1963, Visp) and Japanese artist Tami Ichino (b. 1978, Fukuoka).
Presented together for the first time, both Ceppi and Ichino, using different techniques, engage with familiar objects and natural forms, creating poetic works that shift between recognition and ambiguity. Expressed in their unique visual language, assembled materials, symbolic imagery, or hybrid forms open spatial possibilities where memory, intuition, and personal association intersect. Through their meticulous approaches to their practice, attention is brought to the hidden presence within things, crossing from one form, realm, state or meaning to another, revealing a broader, universal dimension.
