Gyeonggi Ceramics Biennale 2026

Jun Haram captures transient lives and fleeting moments, embedding in clay the coexistence of the enduring and the ephemeral.

After throwing the form on a wheel, the artist paddles the surface to create shapes echoing rocks and stones, then paints motifs frequently found in traditional paintings—such as peonies, willows, plantains, chrysanthemums, bamboo, and orchids.

With meticulous detail, the work captures the vitality of nature, from the breeze rustling through willow leaves to birds flitting among branches and butterflies fluttering around blossoms.

These works carry the artist's affection, wistfulness, and longing for the passing seasons.

By inscribing the rhythms of nature and changing seasons onto the steadfast forms of stone and rock, the artist reveals a space where eternity and the fleeting moment coexist.

Through this quiet realm, the artist extends a gentle greeting to all living beings sharing our world.
