SANGHO SHIN has so far worked on innumerable pieces, challenging the limits of color and ceramic plate. Whenever Shin presented his new works, he also astonished viewers with diverse expressions in his fired paintings. In his recent work Surface ‘n beyond Shin conjoins a solid window frame with fired painting. He expands the possibility of an encounter of ceramics with architecture by adopting the window frame, an architectural material, for his work. The fired paintings on ceramic plates bring about a succinct atmosphere, as if paint filters into fabric, departing any from thick, stuffy color sensation. With these paintings Shin presents the possibility that works with high painterly quality can be installed not only in the inside of the venue, but outside, and these can be excellent building material.
