Woo Jong Taek paints on both sides of the paper, combining the ancient techniques of Koryo Dynasty Buddhist painting with modern techniques to render compositions that are deeply contemplative meditations on our modern times, casting the 21st Century everyman as Bodhisattva. Woo is in touch with Korea's ancient history while he is also informed by the modern minjung 'people's movement' in art, offering us a thoughtful and unique way to see our world. Ink and Acrylic on Paper. 60 x 60 inches, 150 x 150 cm. Korean Contemporary Art

Paintings by Ahn Moon Hoon sell very well at auctions in Korea. His popularity is attributed to the deeply spiritual nature of his paintings, and his textured, three-dimensional paper surfaces. This really is an exceptional example of his work, with a beautifully saturated palette and a vibrant aura. The design and colors of the large wood frame are also wonderful and perfect. The asking price here is much lower than it would be at auction in Korea, especially for such a fine and very large example. Frame: 75.75 x 60.5 inches, 192.5 x 154.5 cm; Painting: 64.5 x 49 inches, 164 x 124.5 cm.

Lee Sung O's innovative paper assemblage, Kokktu - Eternal Figures (Kokktu are traditional Korean funerary figures) 31.5 x 31.5 inches, 80 x 80 cm. Lee's work is in the permanent collection of many major museums, including the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul, and he has an excellent auction record, with not a single work going unsold in the many major auctions that have listed his work over the last several years, including Christie's. The Korean Contemporary Art scene is abuzz with the name Lee Sung O, winner of the Seoul Arts Center Young Artist Prize. It is that he is an old spirit with a young mind. While so many young Korean artists are looking to the West for guidance, Lee Sung O has found inspiration in the soulful symbolism of traditional Korean folk art. His work is a most inventive and unrestrained interpretation of this tradition, true to the creative spirit of Korean folk art. He has created an entirely new technique of gluing stacks of colored paper together, soaking, drying, and cutting the stacks into strips, and then assembling them so that only the edge of the paper is visible, creating exciting works of great textural density that are composed entirely of the paper’s edge. His work uses an everyday material to make us look at objects (and the world) from a different viewpoint and in an entirely new way, reminding us that innovation and beauty shouldn’t be forced or contrived and needn’t be sought in unknown regions, but can be rooted in tradition and found naturally.

Kim Young Mi, Wood-Fired Unglazed Porcelain One. Kim Young Mi subjects these pieces to eight wood-firings, until the ash from the firing has performed all of its organic magic on the surfaces of these living, breathing works of art, giving incomparable texture and color to her nature-loving forms. Kim Young Mi renews the pristine artistic intention of humanity. She says, "My ceramic works are a form of meditation - my humble attempts to live in grace like an open vessel, empty and yet full, of giving and receiving." Kim Young Mi's ceramics, with her inner thoughts woven into the clay, are the end results of her meditation. They quietly stir the human heart. They transform ordinary clay into the extraordinary. 18w x 14.5h x 16d inches, 46w x 37h x 40.5d cm.
