"A lush still life filled with symbolic abundance and serene protection."
In this striking composition, a vintage grandfather clock and a clever cat meet to weave a narrative of 'Time' and 'Well-being.' In many cultures, and especially in Korean tradition, the cat is regarded as an auspicious creature that repels negativity and invites good fortune. Rather than a mere observer, the cat in this work serves as a "Gentle Guardian," infusing the room with warmth, vitality, and a peaceful sense of companionship as it shares in our most precious moments.
Surrounding this guardian are vibrant peonies (symbols of wealth and honor) and fruits like watermelon and blueberries (representing fertility, prosperity, and the sweetness of life’s harvest).
This work is a sophisticated modern interpretation of Gimyeong-jeoljido—a traditional Korean genre of still-life painting.
What is Gimyeong-jeoljido (器皿折枝圖)? It is a classic genre focused on the harmonious arrangement of "Gimyeong" (precious ritual vessels) and "Jeolji" (cut sprigs of flowers or fruit). Beyond mere decoration, these paintings were historically placed in homes to elevate the dignity of the space and to act as a visual prayer for the family's continued prosperity and peace.
Curator's Note
Ideal for an entryway or study. This piece acts as a modern-day talisman, inviting abundance into your home and watching over the things you cherish most.
Artist, Kyungran Yeo
Kyungran Yeo is a Korean ceramic artist. Her tableware, which are the result of her contemplation of the fundamental ‘use’ of the craft, create a natural and beautiful harmony with everything they contain.
Minhwa Collection
Kyungran draws inspiration from Minhwa (Korean folk painting), a tradition rich with auspicious symbols of fortune, joy, and prosperity. Tigers, magpies, rabbits, and peonies—each carrying centuries of meaning—are reimagined through her unique artistic language.
On her ceramics, these motifs are hand-painted with meticulous care, turning each vessel into a piece that elevates both everyday meals and special gatherings. Her digital drawings, meanwhile, reveal another dimension of her practice, offering a timeless encounter with beauty and symbolism.
Blending tradition with contemporary sensibility, Yeo’s works embody a quiet elegance that resonates far beyond their form.
Care
Surface & Texture: Minor variations in paper texture or tone may occur due to the natural qualities of archival fine art paper. These are inherent characteristics, not flaws.
Framing & Cover: Each print comes in a wooden frame with a crystal-clear protective cover. Avoid placing in direct sunlight or areas with high humidity to ensure longevity.
Cleaning: Gently dust the frame and cover with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Handcrafted Details: As every piece is carefully produced, subtle variations in finish and framing may occur, making each work unique.
