Yim Seung-min

Yim Seung-min, born in 1957, is a renowned South Korean ceramic artist, internationally known for his modern reinterpretation of the traditional "moon jar" (dal-hangari). Using the ancestral techniques of Joseon dynasty white porcelain, he creates his works by joining two hemispherical bowls, a process that imparts subtle asymmetries and an organic imperfection to each piece. His creations, characterized by a milky-white surface and a full yet delicate form, embody an aesthetic of serene simplicity and natural beauty, evoking the purity of the full moon. Yim's approach combines a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary sensibility. His works have been acquired by the permanent collections of numerous prestigious museums around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the British Museum, solidifying his status as a master of contemporary ceramics and an ambassador of Korean art.
