Jiha Moon’s gestural paintings, mixed media, ceramic sculpture, and installations explore fluid identities and the global movement of people and their cultures. Moon (b. 1973) is from DaeGu, Korea, and lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia. She received her MFA from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. She has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, the Taubman Museum of Art (Roanoke, Virginia), The Mint Museum (Charlotte, North Carolina), and elsewhere. Moon takes cues from wide ranges of Eastern and Western art history; colors and designs from popular culture; Korean temple paintings and folk art; internet emoticons and icons; and fruit stickers and product labels from all over the place. She often teases and changes these lexicons so that they are hard to identify yet stay in a familiar zone.
