ABOUT

PARK YONG TAE is a ceramic artist based in Goseong, South Korea.

​

His practice is grounded in an observation of natural processes, particularly the fundamental properties of clay as it responds to fire. Rather than treating clay as a neutral material, he approaches it as a condition shaped by time, gravity, and transformation.

​

He frequently revisits and reinterprets historical forms, not as acts of citation, but as a means of extending their philosophical and material implications into the present.

 

White porcelain functions in his work not as a color choice, but as a structural ground—an infinite field through which the intrinsic behavior of clay and the effects of firing can be perceived with clarity.

​

Central to his practice is the idea of resonance: the work is completed not in isolation, but through the perceptual encounter between the object and the viewer.

​

Creation, for PARK YONG TAE, is not an episodic act but a sustained force that continuously shapes his artistic practice.
