Moonassi

ASIA NOW 2025

For Asia Now 2025, Galerie Vazieux presents a solo show of new works by Moonassi (b.1980, Seoul). 

From his training in traditional Korean painting, Moonassi retains the use of materials – paper, ink, water – as well as the spiritual essence – representing feelings rather than likeness. In a very contemporary aesthetic, he deploys large black flat tints from which emerge characters evolving in enigmatic, silent landscapes. The sceneries, which sometimes seem to touch on surrealism, are inspired by the artist’s memories and poetic imagination. Conceived as metaphysical explorations of the human condition, Moonassi’s singular works offer an infinite palette of emotions, plunging us into a dreamlike universe of multiple interpretations.
