This work was completed by Kim Joon Yong, who made the shape of a bowl with a blowing technique, then cut, trimmed, and polished it for quite a while. The flower shape symbolizing life was achieved by expanding the nature of the object and carving the momentariness and eternity of time and space into glass. Thanks to the use of colored glass, this piece shows different colors as light is projected on it or darkness is contained in it with the flow of time.

Artist Biography

The Alchemy of Light and Glass

Kim Joon Yong stands at the vanguard of South Korea’s contemporary glass movement, an artist whose work transcends the boundaries of mere sculpture to become a profound study in luminosity and ephemeral beauty. Born in Busan in 1972, his artistic evolution has been defined by an unwavering fascination with the transformative power of molten glass—a medium he manipulates with both technical mastery and a deep, intuitive sensitivity.

His practice is characterized by a delicate dance between the physical and the metaphysical. Through the intricate process of blowing glass, Kim Yong inflates molten material with precise air pressure, shaping it through molds and tools to create forms that seem to defy gravity. Yet, the artistry does not end with the initial shape; it is in the subsequent stages of cutting, trimming, and meticulous polishing that his vessels truly come to life. These works often emerge as translucent, organic shapes reminiscent of natural landscapes—mountains, trees, and flowers—that radiate an otherworldly glow when caught by the light.

The Zen of Materiality

Deeply rooted in Eastern philosophy, Kim Joon Yong’s creative vision is heavily influenced by the principles of Zen Buddhism. His work embodies the virtues of simplicity, mindfulness, and a deep respect for the inherent nature of his materials. In every sculpture, there is an intentional pursuit of balance and harmony, reflecting a meditative state where the artist and the medium become one.

This philosophical depth is most evident in how he treats light and color. By utilizing colored glass, he creates pieces that shift and transform as the environment changes. For instance, his work Light of Midnight Blown serves as a poignant example, where the expansion of the object’s nature allows him to carve the fleeting moments of time and the vastness of space into the very heart of the glass. The interplay of light and shadow within these vessels creates a sense of eternal movement, making each piece a living entity that responds to its surroundings.

A Legacy of Mastery and Mentorship

The international art community has long recognized the significance of Kim’s contributions. A pivotal moment in his career arrived in 2013 when he secured the silver medal at the International Exhibition of Glass Kanazawa, a prestigious global platform that solidified his reputation as a leading voice in contemporary glass art. Beyond his individual achievements, Kim Joon Yong is a vital figure in the preservation and evolution of his craft within South Korea.

Currently based in Seoul, he operates the Joon Glass Studio, a space dedicated to both creation and the cultivation of new talent. As a professor at Kook-min University, he plays a crucial role in shaping the next generation of glass artisans, ensuring that the technical precision and philosophical depth of his lineage continue to flourish. His influence can be seen through several notable themes and works that define his repertoire:
  • The exploration of organic forms inspired by natural landscapes.
  • The use of translucent textures to capture the essence of light.
  • Masterful pieces such as Selenium Flower and Blue Eyes, which showcase his command over color and form.
