Artist
Chŏng-Sam Ko
Chŏng-Sam Ko is a Korean Minhwa artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Chŏng-Sam Ko painted everyday Korean life in bright, flat colors that feel like a snapshot of the 2000s. Look at Ladies making kimchi (05/04/2009) and you’ll see neighbors gathered around a huge ceramic pot, hands busy with cabbage and chili paste, their patterns sharp against soft backgrounds. The work belongs to a quiet wave of paintings that treated modern Korean rituals with the same care once reserved for royal portraits.
Tap Ladies making kimchi to zoom in and watch the brushstrokes catch the glint of a stainless spoon.
