Laney Contemporary is pleased to present a solo booth of the work of Korean-born, Atlanta-based artist Jiha Moon at NADA, Miami. Moon layers cultural elements such as emoticons and text, fashion, and Pop references from Korea, Japan, China, and North America, blending humor and irony into global collages. Moon, a gifted versatile painter, printmaker, and ceramicist, works in a variety of media, from ink and acrylic on Hanji (Korean mulberry paper) to porcelain sculpture accented with synthetic hair and ornamentation. The booth features recent sculptures, wall-mounted masks and norigae (Korean tassel-like accessories hung from a woman’s garments). Moon’s sculptures combine found objects, fibers, and atypical color-infused glazes and offer up their own mythological magnitude and presence, as if animated beyond their vessel-like scale. Selected as one of sixty artists to be included in Crystal Bridge’s State of the Art 2020, Moon’s work engages in the most pressing conversations about contemporary art and life.
Jiha Moon is from DaeGu, Korea, and lives and works in Atlanta, GA. She earned her MFA from the University of Iowa, Iowa City.
