But there\u2019s still plenty of time to see the exhibit. <\/p>\n<p>\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<p>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.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The museum\u2019s \u201cRemix\u201d 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<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tampamuseum.org\/jun-kaneko-silence-before-sound\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"
