HEESOO LEE CERAMICS
Heesoo Lee’s work explores the vulnerability of the human condition through the metaphor of the natural world. Her artistic language, formed by observations of material, nature, and place, engages with themes of identity, connection, and time. In describing subtle variations of light, texture, color, and shadow as they exist in nature, Lee is, fundamentally, illuminating a range human emotions and the humbling reality of being a feeling person in a vast and changeable world.
Her sculptural vessels are created from porcelain and white stoneware and, after construction, are painted with layer upon layer of underglaze. Her painting medium of pigmented clay is so light that it often requires thirty or more layers to achieve the magnificent depth and realism for which she has become renown, but the analogy to painting ends in the kiln. During firing, the layers of underglaze can react with one another and change colors; at higher temperatures, yellows, reds and oranges want to evaporate out. As a result, Lee’s handling of the ceramic material, though intricate and precise, is also marked by an intuitive use of imagery and surface treatments that offer reward through risk-taking. Lee’s work resonates with feeling, reflecting on human moments of transcendence marked by both strength and fragility as fleeting encounters with the world are made profoundly permanent
Heesoo Lee 是一位韩国陶瓷艺术家，出生在汉城，成年后考入梨花女子大学并获得学士学位。2000年时她来到美国伯克利（美国加利福尼亚州西部城市）一家陶瓷工作室实习与工作，在那里了解并学习了大量的陶瓷制作知识，业余时间也进行了大量的创作，这为她以后的个人艺术道路铺平了到了。几年后她离开了这个工作室，并移居到毛伊岛（在太平洋中北部，夏威夷群岛中的第二大岛）创办了自己的个人陶瓷工作室。她主要创作各种造型独特自然优美的陶瓷制品，这些瓷器表面绘制了大量的自然风景，她通过瓷器的脆弱易碎来隐喻生存在大自然中的人类的脆弱性。她的创作灵感来源于对材质、自然和周边环境的探索，主题多为时间变化、人与自然的天然连接以及物体的独一性。在她绘制的瓷器上我们可以发现光线、纹理、色彩和阴影的微妙变化，通过这些细微的变化映射出生活在广阔多变世界的我们总是伴随着环境的变化而变换心情和感觉。她主要创作釉下彩的瓷器，为了达到最完美的展现效果，她经常绘制30或更多的涂层来展现物体的立体感以及空间感。而且由于釉下彩在烧制过程中由于高温，色彩会交互产生反应，所以在最开始创作时就要对材质进行复杂和精确的处理。下面就让我们来欣赏一下她的唯美瓷器作品。
Heesoo Lee将白杨林冠层结构深度带入她的雕塑碗和花瓶。Heesoo Lee精心地将每一片叶子都用手工制作，建造独特的有机的树木，这些树木似乎以其闪烁的、色彩斑斓的叶子而得以生长。虽然充满活力的釉面料中添加了逼真的层，这些作品在他们的无釉的形式中同样令人惊叹的 ...
