The Tampa Museum of Art<\/a> closed 2025 with a celebration of multi-talented Japanese-American artist Jun Kaneko<\/a>\u2019s work, opening his first major presentation in Florida. But there\u2019s still plenty of time to see the exhibit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSilence Before Sound\u201d features nearly 50 pieces of Kaneko\u2019s large-scale ceramic sculptures, paintings and works on paper, tracing back six decades of his work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His creative process is shaped by moments of pause or \u201cMa,\u201d a concept rooted in Japanese aesthetics that Keneko has said is essential to the balance of an artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum’s “Remix” monthly workshop series bases its next project on his work. On Jan. 29, guests can learn glaze painting on ceramic tile to create Kaneko-inspired art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets start at $5 for \u201cSilence before Sound,\u201d running through Aug. 23 in Tampa.<\/a> The “Remix” workshop is $55. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
