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 graffito line work. The Tiger, the Bird & the Butterfly
a unique flat platter by Makoto Kagoshima featuring a standing tiger with a bird mid-song perched on his paw, an outstanding example of his signature hand-drawn motifs and lively composition. The piece brings a charming, whimsical presence and the playful energy that defines his work.
“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.
Highlights the artist's 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 collaborations with rug maker Christopher Farr, with more expected in 2027.”
