Sung-Jae Choi makes vessels in the Korean tradition of ‘buncheong ware’, with all their painterly qualities of decoration; his works are a powerful evocation of his country’s aesthetic. A member of the International Academy of Ceramics, he is currently a professor at the Korean National University.

Sung-Jae Choi's work combines traditional Korean 'punch'ong' techniques of white slip decoration with contemporary drawn decoration. Punch'ong ceramics were produced in Korea between 1400 and 1600. Decorated with white slip (liquid clay), they often exhibit a freedom and spontaneity that appeals to ceramic artists working in Korea today.
