Dual Natures in Ceramics: Eight Contemporary Artists from Korea

SAN FRANCISCO – May 15, 2014 - Dual Natures in Ceramics: Eight Contemporary Artists from Korea features seventy-five stunning contemporary artworks created by some of Korea’s most respected artists. Co-organized by SFO Museum and the Asian Art Museum, the exhibition explores the meaning and beauty of Korean ceramics in the twenty-first century through artworks by Kim Yik-yung, Lee Inchin, Lee Kang Hyo, Park Young Sook, Roe Kyung Jo, Yeesookyung, Yoon Kwang-cho, and photographer Koo Bohnchang. For these pioneering artists, creating ceramic art has become second nature. While Korean ceramic art is rooted in tradition, the artists explore new concepts of interpretation, creating a dialogue between the traditional and the contemporary as well as East and West.
