Meditative Journeys

Korean Contemporary Art has become something of a recent phenomenon in the western art world, reintroducing itself as a redefined artist community who celebrates ancient tradition while transforming notions of the past into international, innovative and modern works. Bold color accents natural materials while presenting “new” iconography with deep introspection and spiritual implications. Much of the Korean aesthetic lies in the subtle detail while maintaining elegant simplicity.
