Seunghwa Lee

Lee Seunghwa is a ceramic artist who blurs the boundaries between tradition and modernity, material and sensibility, through formative explorations centered around white porcelain. Combining ceramics with stained glass, concave lenses, and convex lenses, he constructs sensory and philosophical spatial narratives based on the distortion and expansion of light, perspective, and perception. Through the formative language of repetition, structure, penetration, and refraction, he develops a unique artistic world that evokes not only visual but also tactile and immersive experiences. His representative works, “White Porcelain Openwork Glass Fountain,” “Lens Series,” and “Extensity D Series,” reinterpret the materiality and formative qualities of traditional ceramics through contemporary media and sensibilities, simultaneously conveying the expressive potential of ceramic art and its social message. He currently teaches at the Department of Ceramics at Seoul National University of Science and Technology and the Department of Ceramic Culture Convergence Design at Kongju National University, and serves as the Secretary General of the Korean Ceramic Society. By organically integrating education, creation, and research, we explore the expandability and public communication potential of contemporary ceramic art.
