Experience the elegance and tradition of Korean ink-brush painting in this special exhibition featuring the works of Mokwon, Subsoo Lim, and her students from Milwaukee and Chicago. With over 35 years of expertise, Mokwon has been passionately sharing the centuries-old art form of ink-brush painting with both American and Korean-American students since arriving in the U.S. eight years ago.

Through her teachings, students explore not only the refined techniques of this ancient medium but also the deep cultural and philosophical traditions behind it, such as the use of empty space and the minimalist grace rooted in Buddhism. For Korean-American students, this practice offers a meaningful connection to their heritage, while American students gain fresh perspectives on art that differ from Western traditions.

Join us in celebrating the work of Mokwon and her students as they continue the important task of cultural transmission, preserving and sharing the values, aesthetics, and artistic approaches of Korean ink-brush painting for future generations.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore a unique blend of art, culture, and philosophy that transcends boundaries and connects communities.
