MINSUN OH MUN 

Minsun Oh Mun graduated from the Department of Oriental Painting at Ewha Womans University’s College of Fine Arts in Seoul, South Korea, where she also studied calligraphy for four years. After graduating, she immigrated to the United States, where she has continued to expand her artistic practice. 

Beginning with Korean traditional painting techniques such as ink painting and minwha (Korean folk painting), she has developed an interdisciplinary body of work through experimentation in both content and style. Her engagement with contemporary Western artistic discourse deepened through her studies at George Washington University, particularly in Modern and Contemporary Art from a global perspective.

In 2026, the World Bank selected her three works for their Washington, DC headquarters. In addition, her painting was selected at the 250 & Counting Juried Exhibition at Falls Church Arts Gallery in Falls Church, VA (2026), as well as the Special Artist Award from the Korean Art Critics Association in 2020 and won First Prize in the WCCW Art Juried Competition in 2015. Her exhibitions and artistic activities include the Art Forum International Exhibition in Hainan, China (2024); the Oriental Painting Workshop at George Washington University (2023); the Minwha Truck  Show at the Smithsonian Asian Art Museum (2017); and Collateral Damage at the Andrew Shiva Gallery, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York (2016); Ecriture with the Body at Corcoran School of Arts and Design and IA & A at Hillyer (2025). Her full list of exhibitions can be found on the "Exhibitions" page.

As a Korean American artist, Mun explores a contemporary Eastern aesthetic that bridges Korean cultural sensibilities and American experiences.
