Kim Se-yong (ceramist)

Kim was a former Professor of Ceramic Art at Chungkang College of Cultural Industries,[2] and currently resides and works in Icheon, South Korea.

The years from the late 1970's through mid 1990's were one of the peak periods of celadon production owing to an influx of wealthy Japanese tourists who bought souvenirs in Icheon's and Seoul's pottery shops.

[15] As of 2023 he has received 22 awards, including the Garland Medal of the Order of Cultural Merit[16] and participated in more than 110 exhibitions in South Korea and around the world.

However, rather than simply replicating historical patterns, he adopted the Korean philosophy known by the four-character idiom "Beop Go Chang Sin" (법고창신 法古創新).

Two frequent studies in sanggam (inlaid celadon) are a single branch of a plum tree laden with ume blossoms and an orchid.

A frequent theme is a landscape scene featuring a rocky, forested mountain range covered in snow, with traditional buildings that have roofs laden under a heavy snowfall.

[25] Kim founded the Sechang Artistic Ceramic Institute (세창예술도자연구소)[26] in Icheon to disseminating his findings and train potters.
