Lee Gee-Jo
Born 1959 in Jeju island, South Korea
Modern Beak-ja (Korean white porcelain) artist, Lee helped to shape the ceramic sculpture ‘Do-Jo’ that emerged in the 1980s in South Korea with his striking and distinctive hand-built abstract ceramics. ‘Rectangular Ritual Vessel’ is one of his masterpieces and his most radical form made of traditional white porcelain. It features a complex structure that requires great skill to achieve. Retaining the textures created through making, restless finger marks and nail pinches that work to stitch and join slabs are visible throughout.
