- Jun Kaneko
The ceramic mural created by Jun Kaneko creates a dramatic backdrop in the lobby of the Biology and Physics Building. The mural extends 72 feet in height, covers over 1,750 square feet, and involves nearly 1,000 hand painted ceramic tiles.
Kaneko's command of materials allows him to approach clay in a painterly way, and his compositions embrace a stunning array of patterns, textures, and colors. This project displays similarities that occur in the discovery process for both artists and scientists, from the intricate development to the finished product, from a small element to something monumental.
