Soluna Fine Art proudly presents Korean metal craft artist Cheon Woo-Sun’s inaugural solo exhibition in Hong Kong, Fullness of Emptiness. Inspired by traditional Korean ceramics, Cheon reimagines the forms of bowls and vessels through the medium of metal and Ottchil (Korean lacquer). 

Believing that the form of the vessel (器), which lies at the foundation of craft, truly embody his philosophy, Cheon introduces openings and gaps to this classic structure using metal wires. In his practice, each wire is meticulously welded, with the creation process approached as a three-dimensional sketch. By deconstructing forms into points and lines, each metal wire converges to form hollow planes, gradually shaping the overall piece. 

His technique ensures a seamless flow in the sculpture from every angle. Regardless of the viewer’s perspective, a constant sense of movement and fluidity is maintained. This approach brings the work to life, offering a dynamic experience that encourages engagement from multiple viewpoints. Embodying the philosophy that "to fill, one must first empty," Cheon’s Open Vase series invites viewers to contemplate the fundamental relationship between presence and absence.

​

Fullness of Emptiness will be on view at Soluna Fine Art from 9 to 18 October 2025, with an opening reception on 9 October (Thurs) at 6 - 8 pm.
