Jason Haam presents Karma II, featuring four celebrated Korean artists: Jihyoung Han, Jungwook Kim, Mike Lee, and Moka Lee. This exhibition will be on view from January 31 to February 15, 2025, on the ground floor of No. 9 Cork Street, London. This will be the third presentation at 9 Cork Street, following ones in 2022 and 2023. This exhibition is generously sponsored by the Korea Arts Management Service (KAMS) with a mission to introduce Korean artistic talents in London.

Jihyoung Han (b. 1994) and Moka Lee (b. 1996) are formidable young voices in contemporary Korean art, representing a generation with distinct perspectives and original expressions. Their works resonate with themes reflective of contemporary aesthetics, offering fresh insights into their cultural identity and artistic exploration. Steeped in tradition of oriental ink painting, Jungwook Kim (b. 1970) explores a complex interplay between physical, conceptual, and transcendental realities, using the cosmos as a unifying theme. Mike Lee (b. 1983), a second-generation Korean American artist, creates works that deeply reflect his cultural heritage while asserting a contemporary visual language, uniquely his own.

We extend our gratitude to the KAMS for their invaluable support in making this exhibition possible.
