Articles Artist Minseok Chi: Exploring the Contemporary Convergence of Korean Traditional Art, Philosophy, and Religion Minseok Chi (b. 1990) works primarily with the traditional medium of Korean painting to explore connections between Korea’s traditional philosophy, shamanistic beliefs, and contemporary contexts. In particular, he studies past shamanistic practices that linked the human world with the realm of spirits through everyday elements such as stones, trees, and mountains. As a contemporary artist, he reflects on the role of the modern-day shaman—one who spiritually connects the diverse beings that inhabit today’s complex society.
