BO MI JO

The Art of Exhale

Bo Mi Jo, a visionary artist born in Korea and based in New York, creates minimalist works that redefine the essence of contemporary abstraction. Her art invites viewers into a realm of profound stillness and presence—a sanctuary of quiet reflection in a world of relentless motion. Through the gentle power of the exhale, she transforms the act of release into a sublime meditation on existence itself.

Bo Mi Jo has crafted a philosophy of detachment and inner peace that transcends cultural and temporal boundaries. “When we pause and focus on the present moment to gather ourselves floating into one, the overwhelmed flow of a swift current disappears,” she reflects. “There only remain objects in still—objects of things, objects of beings, objects of thoughts, or objects of feelings. Once things, beings, thoughts, and feelings separated from us become objects, we can let ourselves mindfully observe the relationship between these objects and peacefully coexist in the same space with them.”

Revered globally, Bo Mi Jo’s work is housed in prestigious collections and celebrated by critics and collectors for its unique ability to evoke introspection and peace. Exhibited in the world’s most respected art institutions, her art commands space, creating a timeless experience that lingers in the minds and hearts of those who encounter it.

In a world seeking balance and calm, Bo Mi Jo’s work stands as a landmark in contemporary art, marking her as one of the most influential artists of her generation and beyond. Her art is a testament to the power of simplicity, presence, and the beauty of surrender—a legacy of serene contemplation destined to be cherished by future generations.
