OMAE Gallery is pleased to present a special exhibition of mother-of-pearl lacquerware by master artisan Mansoon Park, whose works beautifully bridge tradition and contemporary living. From elegant head cabinets to finely crafted vessels, Park’s creations are not only functional objects, but also artworks meant to be appreciated in daily life. His refined craftsmanship, rooted in Korea’s rich heritage of najeon chilgi (mother-of-pearl lacquerware), brings timeless aesthetics into the modern home.

Among the highlights is a cabinet featuring the traditional “Flying Crane Rank Badge” motif, meticulously built with a wooden frame and layered with lacquer, earthenware powder, hemp cloth, mother-of-pearl, and gold powder. The harmony of material, symbolism, and masterful execution invites viewers into a deeper appreciation of lacquer’s depth and glow. We warmly invite you to step into the profound and radiant world of Mansoon Park’s lacquer art.
