South Korea • 1923

Biography

Moon Shin (1923-1995) was a South Korean painter and sculptor. He settled in Paris in the 70's with Lia Grambihler who owned her art Gallery in Latin District. She changes his artistic life, by convincing to give up his figurative painting career in order to work into abstraction. Thus and thanks to Lia's work, investment and protection he became recognized as an international artist. He goes back to South Korea in the 80's and Moon Shin Museum will be inaugurated in 1994 in the town of Masan. His art works are in many international public collections and in Seoul Museums. He belongs to the South Korean Selection of Art Olympiads organized by Lise Cormery Gallery for the French Olympic Committee in 1991 and 1992 in Paris. It was following the famous 1988 Art Olympiads in Seoul where Moon Shin represented South Korea with his monumental sculptures we can still admire today. The 1988 Seoul Art Olympiads with its sculpture and painting museums created for the event in order to invite and show the art of major international artists of the century was the idea of Lia Grambihler in order to promote South Korean art at the international level. Her visionary prospective was successful.
