Today’s Ceramics

This is based on a marble pattern technique of mixing two or more colors of soil to create patterns and the inlay technique of filling the intaglio part of soil with different color soil from the base color.

This is the work of Oh Sunjoo, an artist who creates various tones and patterns depending on the mixture of soil and the concentration of glaze. The shape and texture that are thin but look solid are all completed by molding clay on the spinning wheel.

Yoo Heesong used marble pattern technique to mix two or more kinds of soil together. The natural and warm colors of the soil were used to make a vase (and an artistic object at the same time).

Park Hyeuwon usually uses colored soil materials, but she wanted to find its charm in the original color of soil in this work. Coloration through soil materials instead of using glaze is a way to fully convey a sense of color.

For this work, the artist depicted a pictorial image by adding drawings that emphasize light and shade to the ceramic surface. Two-dimensional lines that seem to stay on a flat surface are drawn on three-dimensional ceramic pieces, making them look like a still life painting.

This was inspired by the appearance of a bird in a very old landscape painting. The attempt to create a bird that does not exist but stays in the artist’s imagination has been the beginning of various graphic works since then.
