Dong-Hyun Kim
Dong-Hyun Kim’s enthusiasm for the teapots of Sung-Won Lee, professor of metal art at Cheongju University, was first sparked during his traineeship in 1997. He eagerly began autodidactic exercises which laid the cornerstone for his career as a silversmith. Today, after completing his academic and practical training, Dong-Hyun Kim makes his own conceptual vessels. The channeled form of the vessels’ bodies gives his work a sculptural aura. Dong-Hyun Kim uses silver, as well as copper and tin, for his elegantly curving teapots. Matte surfaces generate additional tactile appeal. In pewter, Dong-Hyun Kimer has recently forged entirely new organic vessels, in such a way that their surfaces shimmer like silver. ART AUREA AWARD winner 2015.
