Jeong (情) Garden

〈Jeong (情) Garden〉, 2024.

한국 자기, 미국 자기, 청자 유약, 각 높이 10.16–25.4cm (20점), 국립아시아문화전당 지원 제작, 광주 제작

The artist first visited Korea and unraveled the experiences of Korean “Jeong (情)” that he encountered only in writing. As a Korean-American, the warm affection felt from the relationships the artist met in Korea, such as Koreans who looked similar to the artist, artists working in Korea, and acquaintances who taught Korean culture, became a valuable experience that created a connection between Korean culture. However, in the meantime, in order not to forget the artist’s identity as a Korean American, Se Oh placed the self-portrait at the center of the garden. It is a vessel that resembles a lotus flower made with American porcelain. Nested inside is a small vessel rendered in Korean porcelain. This self-portrait, surrounded by Korean porcelain makes up a very special work for this exhibition.
