“My art forms are derived from my subconscious, a material reaction to my surroundings, a Requiem, harking back to indigenous peoples’ spiritual practices and nature’s own destructive power.”

b. 1973, London.

Petroc Sesti is a British artist, born in London where he currently lives and works. Sesti’s work pushes the boundaries of art and science and goes beyond both. He is particularly interested in themes such as motion, chaos, light, and the void, exploring in particular the ever-changing relationships between artwork, the environment and the viewer.

His work speaks to the global wealth of symbolism associated with moving water, clouds and the fluid environment, as seen in the Chinese philosophical notions of Qi, the force that makes up and binds together all the things in the universe, paradoxically at once everything and nothing. This relates to his ongoing fascination with movement and the Void, as seen across his entire practice. His passion for science and cosmology fuel his enquiry into how to contain and display raw energy states and notions of the sublime. This manifests in a broad spectrum of artworks and mediums, be it through complex mechanical pieces, made in collaboration with some of the world’s leaders in earth and space observation or replicating solar flares by detonating gunpowder on paper. His work has been exhibited internationally in private and public collections including the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, the 13th Manifesta Biennale in France, and represented Great Britain at the 9th Shanghai Biennale. Other exhibitions and collections of note include the Qatar Foundation, the ICA London and the New Shanghai Museum Of Contemporary Art. His work is held worldwide in a number of permanent collections including: MONA Museum Tasmania, the Kistefos Museum Norway, the Boghossian Foundation Brussels, YUZI Museum China, Rockefeller Collection New York, Rem Koolhaas’s Qatar Foundation HQ, Manhattan Loft Gardens Stratford International London, and Norman Foster’s Yacht Club Monaco.

PETROC SESTI

A Sci-fi Sublime And I have felt…a sense sublime Of something far more deeply interfused, Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, And the round ocean and the living air, And the blue sky, and in the mind of man: A motion and a spirit, that impels. All thinking things, all objects of all thought, And rolls through all things. Extract from ‘Tintern Abbey’, William Wordworth, 1798

Lee Yong Soon’s (b.1957) Moon Jars are a very close contemporary rendering of the ancient vases of the Joseon dynasty. Fascinated from a young age by pottery, Lee Yong Soon is self taught, and even sold his wedding ring to finance his emerging career. Abiding to his close ties with tradition, his studio is located deep in the Korean mountains; he uses the same clay, found in mountain caves, which was used in the royal kilns from the 14th Century onwards. His distinctive bright white glaze is made with pine ash from the mountain trees, and has a soft, luminescent glow.

LEE YONG SOON

“This type of globular porcelain jar is known as a moon jar (dal hang-ari). Its white color suggests the confucian virtues of purity, honesty, and modesty, and the form was thought to represent the fertility and embracing, gentle quality of women”
