Artist Lee Hun-chung is difficult to define with one word. He is a ceramist, sculptor and architect whose work ranges from ceramic art furniture to large-scale installations on the faraway Portuguese archipelago of the Azores.
In his new exhibition "Born Without Making" at Park Ryu Sook Gallery on Mt. Nam, Lee explores the themes of solitude and relationships in his ceramic sculptures created around the theme "island."
