Redefining Hwangchil Artwork by MN2P (Minkyo "MK" Kim & O-Hyun "Nobby" Ryu) explores a bold reimagining of Korean ink-and-wash painting (Sumukhwa) through the lens of tradition and innovation. This book presents MN2P's unique use of Hwangchil (golden lacquer) and Ottchil on Hanji and wooden canvases, blending minimalism, negative space, and spiritual philosophies from Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism.
Featuring series like the Red, Blue, and Awakening collections, it reveals the artists' process and symbolism—linking materials like mother of pearl and beetle wings to Korean mythology and modern science. With philosophical depth and artistic originality, this book offers a fresh vision of Korean art in the contemporary world.
