Living Here

Jiha Moon’s paintings, ceramic sculptures, and installations explore fluid identities and the global movement of people and culture. She draws from a wide range of influences, including international art histories, Korean temple paintings and folk traditions, popular culture, internet emojis and icons, and product packaging from around the world. She is a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow and a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation's Painters & Sculptors Grant. Her mid-career survey exhibition, Double Welcome: Most Everyone’s Mad Here, organized by the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art and the Taubman Museum, toured more than 15 museums across the U.S. She earned her MFA from the University of Iowa. Born in DaeGu, South Korea, she is currently based in Florida where she is a faculty member at Florida State University.
