ONE HEART ONE MAUM: THE STORY
This first exhibition is dedicated to all those that lent a helping hand in building this community called MAUM. We are here today thanks to the constant support from countless volunteers, freelancers, friends, and our community. Without good people, there is no business, and certainly no MAUM. We are so thankful for our makers, attendees, and team members through the two years that make it possible.
ONE HEART ONE MAUM: A SHOW
The second exhibition is a trio of like-minded emerging Korean artists that will collectively challenge the dichotomy of honoring the past while flourishing in the present. Presented in three different mediums: acrylic on hanji, ceramic, and jogakbo (Korean patchwork).
Antonio Kim (Moowon Ceramics) is an emerging Korean-American ceramic artist based out of Long Beach, California. He centers his art around traditional Korean ceramic forms and the manipulation of them, primarily using the Moon Jar as the form of choice. Antonio works to explore and understand modern human emotions as well as Korean-American identity through the manipulation of clay. Antonio focuses on how the traditional Korean forms can be seen differently through multiple lens’. Antonio primarily works with white and celadon glaze to mimic and respect that of old Korean ceramic works.

CERAMICS
Seohui Chi is a Los Angeles-based Korean-born artist, creating culturally-driven drawings with an emphasis in softer palettes and inspiration from watercolor. A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York with a degree in Technical Design, Chi pursued a path in fashion before deciding to dedicate a career in digital illustration and acrylic hanji paintings. Chi’s signature style is drawn from her desire to preserve and capture aspects of Korean culture that she deems beautiful and distinctive. Often she seeks to incorporate traditional Korean elements into everyday, noticeable objects and landscapes.

ACRYLIC ON HANJI
Seoul-born and Los Angeles-based textile artist Yejin Shin (Artbo) has devoted years to mastering Jogakbo, the traditional Korean art of patchwork. With a background as a fashion visual merchandiser, she seamlessly blends her expertise in color, styling, and space design into her work. Yejin's art goes beyond tradition, merging traditional techniques with a modern sensibility. Inspired by light, space, and architecture, she meticulously hand-stitches each piece, infusing warmth into her creations. Also, her art honors Korea's rich textile heritage while exuding a contemporary, timeless charm.
