손대현 주칠빙렬무늬 함|孫大鉉　朱漆氷裂文　函|Box with crackle design

Sohn Daehyun

2018 · Ottchil lacquer, wood, hemp, and mother-of-pearl · Asian Art

Sohn finds inspiration in the colors of late Joseon red and orange lacquerware. The geometric pattern the artist created with the inlaid mother-of-pearl references cracking techniques found in earlier celadon wares, yet the work’s design and execution leave no doubt that this is contemporary work.
