They are considered stars of the international ceramic scene – British Ken Eastman (*1960) and South-Korea- and Finland-based Suku Park (*1947).

Distantly referring to the idea of a vessel Ken Eastman is refining his work consistently. His former starting point was a cylindrical shape but nowadays he assembles his works from undulated, sharp edged slabs constituting an irregular spatial object. Its surfaces are covered with a kind of smooth, matte Color Field painting evoking a three dimensional
vibrant color chord, coherently combining sculpture and painting.

Wandering between East and West Suku Park is silently occupying space itself in a poetical manner: Drop-shaped, pastel-colored forms are filling the room like large scale rain – ignoring gravity with charming lightness and throwing lively shadows. His wall works are completely different: Cuboids, sometimes angled, like isolated elements of architectural plans with red, yellow or black colored surfaces. But he is also proving his steadfast love with vessels building large, side-handled bowls.
