Jinhee Kwon (S. Korea) aims to expand the boundaries of traditional ceramics. With a diverse background in ceramics, textiles, visual arts, and video arts, her work brings in inspiration from architecture balanced with her use of bold colors, and geometric shapes. She strives for both visual intensity and sculptural harmony in her explorations of structure, form, and space in clay, and reinterprets traditional ceramic forms through a contemporary design perspective.
Kwon holds a degree in Craft from the Department of Design at Suwon University, and an MFA in Ceramics from Hongik University. She was recently awarded the Gold Prize at the Taiwan Ceramic Biennale, and has participated in residencies at the Yingge Ceramic Museum in Taiwan and the Visiting Artist Program at Tainan National University of the Arts. She continues to extend her international reach through participation in various exhibitions and residencies abroad.
