The Artist

Yung Cheuk Chung first discovered working with clay when he was taught to handbuild in 2010 in Hong Kong, he later moved to London to study his BA at Central Saint Martins and MA at Royal College of Art in Ceramics.

Yung Cheuk Chung’s work is inspired by factories in the UK, observing how components join together, the elegance of plant design, the balance of straight line and curve. He never seeks them as a functional object but as an object to capture the pure movement and relationship between each component.

His work involves throwing, press moulding and slip casting, allowing him to have the flexibility to make each piece unique by distorting the form while having a standard quality of shape and scale to unify them. The outcome of his work attempts to discover the purity of the designed components and place them in a different context.
