Aeyoung

BIO

Aeyoung (born in 1986) majored in Ceramic and Glass Craft at Hongik University and obtained a Master's degree in Ceramics from the Graduate School of Dongguk University. She captures diverse narratives such as hidden human desires and social disharmony, and expresses them through modern landscape artworks that blend traditional ceramic styles with contemporary imagery—depicting these themes on the cross-sections of her disassembled ceramic pieces.

At the age of 26, she won the Gold Award at the Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale, marking her official debut as a ceramic artist. She aspires to be a creator who pursues the essence of her craft.

Her representative work series Pivot features porcelain pieces divided into 3 or 4 parts around a central axis (taking "pivot" as the reference point). These divided parts can be continuously recombined into new forms, implying the possibility of diverse changes.
In addition to the Gold Award at the Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale, she has also received the Grand Prize at the Cheongju International Craft Biennale. She has repeatedly provided works for the residency program at Shiga Prefecture Ceramic Art Forest in Japan, and her works were selected for the Creative Studio Exhibition at the COEX Craft Trend Fair. Her creations are collected by institutions including the Seoul Craft Museum, Yangcheon Ceramic Museum, Shiga Prefecture Ceramic Culture Park (Japan), City Joy Hotel (China), Lotte Hotel World, and Seoul Grand Joy Hotel.
