SHIBUMI GALLERY is pleased to announce our 16th ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY and show opening, on 02 December, 2023.

PRESENT features SHIBUMI artists who have not only created original pieces, but have also created or selected unique packaging in which to present their work.

In a quest to delve into diverse inspirations, our artists were prompted to explore the realms of Japanese culture where the display and presentation of an object is as integral as the object itself.

The guidelines were deliberately broad, allowing each artist the freedom to consider exploring new elements, techniques or aesthetics that might personally inspire their work for this show.

Additionally, as we love greenery in our environment we used this show to display the Japanese botanical art form known as kokedama. Kokedama is the Japanese technique of wrapping a plant's roots in soil and moss, creating a decorative ball in which the plant will still grow. A special selection of kokedamas will also be on display and for sale to coincide with the show.
