about the Artist

KIM SOOGEUN


Kim Soo-geun works on a wood lathe, carving logs by
attaching them to a rotating machine. After choosing
a piece of wood, he spends several days thinking deeply
about the shape that will go with the wood. He works while
imagining how the hardness of the wood, the grain,
and a specific pattern will change. He especially ponders
over how the wood will change over time under the
wind and sunlight, and develops his work.

Small Wood-turned Cherry Blossom Vase


This vase, crafted from cherry wood, is distinguished by its rich and uniquely
vivid red hue. Though modest in size, it carries a captivating presence,
as its patterns and colors shift subtly with the changing angle of light.
The delicate interplay of texture and tone lends the piece an air of quiet
elegance and enchantment.
