Wonmin’s choice to work with stone and steel intentionally pairs a natural and a manufactured material, contrasting imperfection against uniformity.
This combination adheres closely to the principles of Korean Minimalism, as well as the 1960s Mono-Ha movement in Tokyo. Mono-Ha proposed a reduction of materials to reconfigure art away from a flamboyant avant-garde catering for an increasingly industrialised society.
Wonmin has updated the tensions first addressed by Mono-Ha, combining these minimalist principles with cutting edge technology in his ultra-contemporary series.
