:: Exhibition review:: A show in Hong Kong illustrates how Jonas Wood and his wife Shio Kusaka have helped each other. Mr. Wood, 37, and Ms. Kusaka, 42, don t merely work alongside each other in a shared studio. They continually refer to each other s works in their own: Mr. Wood s still-life interiors often include rows of striped and speckled pots and planters that echo Ms. Kusaka s ceramics. Ms. Kusaka, in turn, often mimics images from his canvases from his signature plants to basketballs on her pots. Now the couple s overlapping oeuvres are getting an in-depth look for the first time in a Gagosian Gallery show in Hong Kong, Jonas Wood and Shio Kusaka: Blackwelder, up through Feb. 28. The show includes 10 paintings and 25 drawings by Mr. Wood and 53 pots by Ms. Kusaka, many of which haven t been seen before. Eventually, it became clear that they had become, in a way, each other s muse. That was the idea behind the Hong Kong show to explore how their own practices intertwine. Wall Street Journal
