Rina Oh is a multidisciplinary NY based artist that was born in South Korean and raised in three continents. She spent her formative years living in Asuncion, Paraguay before moving to New York City. Currently serving as the managing editor for Art Lantern Magazine and contributing writer and guest host for Whitehot Magazine Podcasts. Her work is rendered in ceramics called “Royal Court Shoes” is currently exhibited at Ethan Cohen Gallery. Her preferred medium is ceramic sculpture, bronze cast, painting with oil paint and soft pastel. Her recent work Indigenous Children’s Voices explores intergenerational trauma, particularly the “Comfort” and “Camptown” women of the Korean Peninsula, connecting historical sexual violence to contemporary patterns of exploitation. The subsequent work transforms pain into self-exploration through a sculptural series titled 22.0. The series traces the life from birth through age twenty-two and beyond.
