Ceramic artist Kang Minsu will present new moon jars at Rho Gallery in Seoul from Sept. 17 through Oct. 8.
Titled “Kang Minsu Moon Jar,” the exhibition brings together recent works produced using traditional ceramic methods. Kang has concentrated on moon jars for more than two decades, and the exhibition marks his 14th solo presentation.
The artist fires his works with pine wood in a traditional climbing kiln that he built himself. Rather than eliminating the variations created by wood firing, he incorporates changes in color, texture and surface into each vessel.
A moon jar is formed by throwing its upper and lower sections separately on a pottery wheel and joining them to create a single body. Subtle differences between the two sections produce irregular contours and visible traces of the making process.
Kang has maintained the fundamental structure and production methods of the traditional Korean moon jar while adjusting its proportions and surfaces. According to Rho Gallery, his works are held by the former presidential office Cheong Wa Dae as well as corporate and institutional collections.
The exhibition will occupy the gallery’s first and second floors. It will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and closed on Sundays, Mondays and public holidays.
