THE SCULPTURAL NARRATIVE
This is a one-of-a-kind ceramic platter by artist Makoto Kagoshima, available exclusively through Chariots on Fire. This rare individual piece carries an exceptional composition celebrating the artist's signature sgraffito line work.
Pastel Florals on Black features delicate pastel floral motifs set against a deep black ground, creating a bold, modern composition with a refined graphic presence. The result is a dreamlike statement for contemporary interiors and a standout piece for the discerning graphic eye.
“What I create for Chariots embodies Los Angeles,” says Kagoshima. The gallerist who discovered his work and brought him to Los Angeles for his first U.S. exhibition proudly carries that provenance forward, placing this piece at the heart of his origin story with Chariots on Fire.
This work highlights the artist's enduring connection to Los Angeles through Chariots on Fire—specifically a 2010 meeting in Japan that led to his first U.S. exhibition and a lasting partnership. This collaboration spans 11 historic exhibitions (2013–2022) and design collaborations with rug maker Christopher Farr, with more anticipated in 2027.
