Translated Vase by Yeesookyung
“Korean artist Yeesookyung masterfully produces imperfect sculptures, bulbous yet elegant works composed from mismatched porcelain. The series, titled “Translated Vase,” was first inspired by the Korean artisan tradition of destroying porcelain works that are not deemed pristine, and she has continued to make the fused pieces since 2001. Intrigued by these tossed aside works and shards, Yee began saving fragmented tea cups and pots rejected by contemporary masters. Honoring the works’ dismantled states, she traces each crevice in 24-karat gold leaf in the style of Japanese kintsugi, merging the unwanted works together in a way that heightens the beauty of their distress. In this way she blends diverse methods to form a contemporary process that evokes both the elegant designs of her homeland and the delicate rebuilding of damaged works in Japanese tradition.”

Kim Joon
Kim Joon pulls from the cultural influence of the United States—steeped in commercialism, superficiality, artifice and fantasy. He frequently appropriates brands in his work, distorting them onto the surfaces he builds in his digital prints. The result is a strange look into a world where commercialism has destroyed life as is, leaving a wake of surreal textures and patterns.

Ceramic Sculptures by Haejin Lee
"Ceramicist Haejin Lee (Instagram) creates sculptures that seem to unravel before your eyes, ceramic forms that open and splay outwards to make vessels unusable and faces far more interesting. Utilizing minimal color Lee instead focuses on her shapeshifting creations, often incorporating human elements like eyes and mouths that sprout from the banded chaos."

Hand-carved Portraits by Yoo Hyun
Using an X-acto knife and tweezers, Korean artist Yoo Hyun (Instagram) hand carves intricate cut-paper portraits that feature the likes of movie stars, world leaders, and musicians. Up close, Hyun’s pieces look like abstract designs, but from afar they read as photo-realistic depictions of his subjects. He achieves this by incorporating a zig-zag pattern into his compositions, where each line is specially cut to build a three dimensional-looking form.

Sea Hyun Lee: Between Red
This blood-orange land on oil canvases by Sea Hyun Lee is actually a mountains from the border between North ans South Korea. Union Gallery, what represents the author, describe the paintings as
Deeply personal works that reference Lee’s own sense of the past and its losses. Here, Lee tarries with two familiar ideas: nostalgia and utopia. But he avoids approaching either with mere simplicity or mere skepticism. Instead, his paintings are infused with a sophisticated sense of nostalgia, and a wry idea of utopia.
