Korean Contemporary Buncheong Ceramic Art by Kim See Man. Buncheong is a unique and centuries-old style of ceramics characterized by a white slip surface that is usually decorated in a spontaneous and expressive manner. This has been imitated in Japan's mishima ware. Kim See Man's work has been exhibited at a long list of major museums, including the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, Yale University Art Gallery, Freer/Sackler Gallery of Art, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Harvard University Art Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, Saint Louis Museum of Art, Newark Museum, American Craft Museum, Portland Art Museum, Society for Contemporary Crafts, Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Seattle Asian Art Museum, Vancouver Art Museum, Royal Ontario Museum, and many others.

'Reflect' by Jahee Lee, mirror constructed entirely of antique wood, metal, and textile with the ten symbols of longevity (sipjangsaeng), only the glass is new. 47.5 x 30 inches, 120.5 x 76 cm. Growing up with parents who were social workers in a traditional Korean Hanok house of hand-hewn timber, Jahee Lee developed both a deep affection for people and for traditional materials. When her parents' orphanage, the Lighthouse in Haenam (est. 1953) was recently demolished, she decided to use the materials from the building to create mirrors. Someone else would probably have used the materials to create furniture or other structures, but mirrors are a thought-provoking choice. Jahee says "A mirror is an object that has many delicate layers of meaning. Through this object you can realize the meaning behind yourself and see within your life. When you are facing a mirror you cannot deny your feelings or deceive yourself. The mirror tells you exactly the truth with clarity that you cannot deny, it embraces you as you are, and it makes you think about yourself and how you relate to your world around you. I hope that by using materials from the old Lighthouse orphanage, the love and warmth and traditional values taught and practiced there will live on and inspire the person who looks in this mirror."

Seo Byung Ho is the recipient of the top prize in the 2009 World Ceramic Biennale, the highest paid ceramic art prize in the world. With this lovely pair of sculptural vases, Seo has combined the shape of a traditional vessel with the form of a fish, a symbol of eternal vigilance because the fish never closes its eyes. For the same reason, the fish is also a symbol of diligence that has long been a source of inspiration for Korean scholars, and is a common motif employed in scholar's implements. In the surface, color, and form of this delightful work, the Korean ceramic artist Seo Byung Ho shows why he is deserving of such top acclaim. 14.25 x 7.75 inches, 36 x 20 cm.
