Join us for an artist talk with contemporary painter, printmaker, and sculptural ceramicist Jiha Moon.
Moon’s gestural paintings, mixed media, ceramic sculpture, and installations explore fluid identities and the global movement of people and their cultures. Moon says, “I am a cartographer of cultures and an icon maker in my lucid worlds.”
Moon takes cues from many sources of inspiration—history of Eastern and Western art, colors and designs from popular culture, Korean temple paintings and folk art, internet emoticons and icons, fruit stickers, and labels of products from all over—teasing and changing these lexicons so that they are both familiar and unfamiliar.
