Join gallery presenter Max as he explores the magnificent exhibition of pots by master Korean potter Kang-hyo Lee, marking Lee’s fourth major exhibition here at Goldmark Gallery.
Born in Seoul in 1961, Kang-Hyo Lee is widely regarded as one of the finest Korean potters working today. Lee and his pots can be found in the collections of Metropolitan Museum, New York, The Art Institute of Chicago, Philadelphia Museum of Art, the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Sèvres – Cité de la céramique, Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum, Korea.
Although his work has a modern twist he is deeply steeped in Korean tradition. The beauty of his work is undeniable; spontaneous and direct, generous of form and naturally inventive. Every pot, large or small, is a work of art; each as individual as a fingerprint and perfectly weighted, a relaxed and confident marriage of style and function.
