Rain Catcher, from the portfolio Asian Contemporary Art in Print,

2006

Jiha Moon 문지하, born 1973, Daegu, South Korea; active Atlanta, GA
2016-22.5
Inspired by art-historical sources and popular culture—including thirteenth-century Daoist paintings of immortals or mythical landscapes, American cartoons, Dr. Seuss books, and fortune cookies—Moon’s color-saturated print combines disparate motifs to create an exuberant, dreamlike composition. Rain Catcher might be seen as a landscape, an information map, a gestural abstraction—or all three
at once.
