PARIS — South Korean ceramic artist Jongjin Park scooped up the 2026 Loewe Craft Prize at an award ceremony in Singapore on Tuesday. Selected from 30 shortlisted works that will be on display until June 14 at the National Gallery Singapore , his “Strata of Illusion” sculpture “explores the tension between control and collapse” through layered sheets of paper coated in colored porcelain slip. The paper burns away when fired in the kiln, leaving a structure that slumps and distorts under the effects of heat and gravity. The jury, which includes the LVMH-owned Spanish luxury house’s artistic directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, said it was “fascinated by the poetry of the paper disappearing in the firing process, and the honest imperfection of the slumping form.” You May Also Like “Strata of Illusion” by Jongjin Park.…
