An impressive and large ceramic vessel titled "Meditation-Staying VI" by South Korean artist Sung-Jae Choi (b. 1962) circa 1994. The square form vase was heavily potted with a substantial weight that matches its form. It was created in the tradition of Buncheong ware. The surface is covered in a white slip glaze onto which the artist painted a spontaneous aqua scenery with his fingers. With just a few quick strokes, one can easily see ducks floating on the pond with willows swaying and reeds rustling in the wind. Rooted in strong ceramic tradition of Buncheong ware of 14-16th century, Choi revitalized the technique to reach for a modernity that is both refined and rustic, while still retaining a strong sense of poetry and humbleness. The piece is singed on the base as shown. Reference: for a similar piece see accession no. FE.57-2008 in the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum. Also 2005.90 in the Art Institute of Chicago. About the artist: Choi received is BFA and MFA from Hongik Art University in Seoul, Korea in Ceramic Art.
