Exhibition by Lloyd Choi Gallery for London Design Festival 2022 to explore meditative aesthetic of Korean art and design, and how this can help us find tranquility and consolation in turbulent times.The exhibition title reflects the calm and mindful status of the craft-artists Lloyd Choi Gallery works with, whose practices are hands-on and materials-led. These Korean artists and makers, working with natural materials, hold a focus on process and understand the laws of nature – choosing to work with these, rather than against them. Like the unknown Korean potters of ancient times, they pursue an egoless state of mind in order to create true beauty in their contemporary practice.SILENT MIND will present meditating sculptor, Mok-su’s transcendental work for the first time outside of South Korea alongside new stunning works by international Korean artists Kwak Hye-young, Kim Hyun-ju and Lee So-ra.

About
Lloyd Choi Gallery
Lloyd Choi Gallery represents craftsmanship-led contemporary Korean artists and designers. The gallery believes in the power of art to enlighten, a concept rooted firmly in Korean tradition. The thorough knowledge of materials, the masterful skill and meditative processes create an alchemic reaction that moves beyond the boundaries of craft, design and fine art. Specialising in Korean contemporary studio ceramics, the gallery promotes artists whose contemporary works echo the traditional values best described by Bernard Leach, in his ‘A Potter’s Book’, “nobility, austerity, strength, breath, subtlety, warmth qualities which apply equally to our judgments of human and ceramic values.”
