OH JUNG

Held by a warm heart Mother always managed the jars in jangdokdae clean in the ild days. There were our local food, thanks to the jars, we could have had the delicious foods for all four seasons. The uses of the jars became wide these days. The jar that holds flowers, crops can hold everything. What else could be contained from my jar. Sorrow, love, anger, death, life… We gain abundance, but sometimes it makes us feel the vulgarity. The jar holding loneliness. Working on that full jar everyday, it makes me think that my life is a repeated routine, but when I look in the detail, the jar was born in the form that gifts me the similar, but different sense.

About OH JUNG

Artist Oh attaches pieces of Mother-of-pearl as a potter cresses porcelain mud to make pottery. Each part of Mother-of-pearl already becomes a sky or cloud and stains the world.
She is creating pottery with a light. Baked pottery with a light lands on the canvas, and it transforms into the paint. Not necessarily beautiful pottery, but this pottery carries stories of people and life of all of us, called Moon Pottery.Squishy-looking moon pottery holds our public sentiment. Also, it contains the story of time and history.

Some of the potteries are too large to embrace, and we can see the stains put on by hands or some traces of red pepper paste. And, even some bursts traces when baked.
Making potteries with Mother-of-Pearl used to decorate wardrobe closets or blanket cabinets. Putting particles or evenly cut pieces to lay out one by one.
She weighs the band-like flesh of the universe one by one and thinks of the reason for the infinite world in one piece.

While potteries get created by the moments, She finds infinite space and the value of eternity.
The potteries created on the canvas can’t hold anything, but also they become a realm of infinite to have anything.

The Moon potteries get created made of particles or pieces of mother-of-pearl spread from center to edge of the canvas.

A boundary creates lines between mother-of-pearl with seen and dark acrylic paint. There is a clear distinction, but it is divided not by borders but by the contact points between two objects. Artist Oh chooses paints and mother-of-pearl to create potteries.she chose the potteries, not because she had a particular reason, but because they were familiar but not being used lately.
Attaching pieces of mother-of-pearl to an object, we know well. And, it becomes part of the particular thought that used to be nothing.
Because it’s an object in our memory that we all know, but in recent years, we don’t use potteries as often as we used to. And he attaches pieces of mother-of-pearl to an object we all know well.
What used to be nothing special takes a special memory in our minds. That is the reason I am making potteries with mother-of-pearl.
Many paints or make moon potteries. And many have their reasons. Moon potteries created by the artist Oh are more than just a function of ceramics but become a natural objects similar to an ordinary landscape.
Artist Oh wishes the potteries that he creates on the canvas to hold usual stories instead of becoming something special. Rather than containing precious thoughts in our memories or secrets, we want to hide. Artist Oh wants her potteries on the canvas to reflect how we are today.
Artist Oh wants it to be nothing special, such as a family picture on some wall or somewhere already taking large parts in our hearts.
