A leading art company in South Korea, Soluna Art Group celebrates the tenth anniversary edition of London Craft Week with an exhibition of the finest Korean craft.

The history of Korean craft goes back about 7,000 years with developments in ceramics, metal, wood, mother-of-pearl, horsehair and more. Each material on its own has an interesting story to tell. The basis of contemporary Korean art has its origin in material properties. This is a distinct trait of the Korean culture as the most sophisticated people, from the royal court to learned scholars, in ancient times enjoyed objects made using different materials embellished with challenging making skills. Soluna Art Group, a leading company in the Republic of Korea aims to show creativity that pushes limits crossing over a wide range of disciplines. From horsehair to welded metal and glass, we define finesse and sophistication through fine craft.

Soluna Art Group are presenting new works by Dahye Jeong (working in horsehair), 2022 Winner of the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize and Keeryong Choi (UK based glass artist), Kyouhong Lee (glass artist), Woosun Cheon (metal artist) all 2023 Finalists for the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize. Following last year’s success, Soluna Art Group celebrate the 10th anniversary of London Craft Week through our exhibition in Gallery 5 & 6 at Cromwell Place.
