Jiha Moon was born in DaeGu, Korea and is based in Atlanta, Georgia. She earned both BFA and MFA degrees in Seoul and an additional MFA and MA degree from the University of Iowa. Moon has exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Seoul, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Her work belongs in the collections of the Fabric Workshop and Museum, the High Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, and the UBS Art Collection, among others. In her fluid and expressive practice, Moon combines motifs and techniques from her native Korea with threads from the Western art canon and imagery from the digital age—her work comments on globalization, the fluidity of identity, and the information overload of contemporary society. Moon’s vivid paintings, ceramics, prints, sculptures, and installations combine the visual lexicons of Korean temple painting and folk art with Disney cartoons, restaurant menus, and abstract calligraphic gestures.
