Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum has arranged the special invitational exhibition Park Buwon: Inspired by Tradition to look back on the life of Park Buwon (1938~) and his art. Park has given his life to upholding and building upon traditional ceramics in Gwangju, home to the royal kilns for four hundred years during the Joseon Dynasty.

The exhibition features fifty ceramic works by Park Buwon that show how he has maintained tradition and taken inspiration from it through the years, and the exhibition aspires to find a new way forward for traditional ceramics in the 21st through the spirit of ‘Creating the New, Based on the Old.’

Part 1: Discovering Tradition by Learning from the Old features white porcelain and buncheong works produced by Park Buwon before 1990, when he sought to revive the archetypes of traditional ceramics through reproduction and experimentation with glazes.

Part 2: Transformation for Modern Times through Experimentation presents traditional ceramics with a contemporary feel that Park Buwon produced through experimentation with glaze color-change in the kiln to create unpredictable patterns, very large jars built by the traditional coiling method, and jars decorated in cobalt blue and copper red, jars decorated in copper red, and black-glazed jars.

On display are buncheong jars decorated with petroglyphs, white porcelain dalhangari (moon jars), and traditional ceramic works Park reproduced with a modern sense.
