Huh Myoung Wook is a master of ottchil, the traditional Korean lacquer technique. In his practice, he reimagines its potential by blending time-honored craftsmanship with contemporary painting media, exploring the symbolism of color through layered expression. This platter highlights the versatility of ottchil, applied by hand onto ash wood in multiple coats to achieve its depth of tone. Each work is unique, so variations in color, form and detail are natural traces of its handmade story.
