Lee Kang-hyo 이강효 李康孝 Korean
Not on view
Contemporary Korean ceramics often embody the dynamic dialogue with the past that many artists are engaged in today. Inspired by Joseon ritual vessels, the works by Kim Yikyung and Lee Kang-hyo exemplify that dialogue and its variety. While differing in shape, material, and surface decoration, both works echo a bo, a footed rectangular vessel for grain. The two artists included the customary ridged flanges (ribbing) of ritual vessels, but each has interpreted the decorative element in their own way.
