Sunkoo Yuh is a Korean ceramics sculpture artist who resides in Athens, Georgia.
Yuh received his BFA degree from Hong Ik University, Seoul, Korea and his MFA degree from the New York State College of Ceramics in Alfred, NY.
The artist’s process is a painstaking one. Intuitive pen-and-ink drawings form the basis of his lively narratives and the ongoing dialogue he has with his day-to-day life.
He then moves to the process of rendering them three-dimensionally in clay, applying vibrant, multi-layered glazes reminiscent of historical T’ang pottery.
Yuh records these impressions of his personal and intimate experiences in everyday life as spontaneous yet intricate ink and brush works.
His selected two-dimensional compositions are then represented and re-contextualized into conceptual and three-dimensional forms.
