Preserve and renew 

They are two international greats of local and Asian contemporary ceramics: the two perfectionists in their field symbiotically bring together the ancient tradition of Korean ceramics with European-influenced modernity - in the process, the artist couple is in a constant research process about their preferred material porcelain, about firing processes, variety of forms and chemistry of raw materials. As professors in Germany and South Korea, they are also shaping the next generation of ceramicists.
