Gallery Introduction
Mother-of-pearl and lacquerware, which have shared the history of Korea, Japan, and China, are being reinterpreted as contemporary art today and are developing into unique art fields.
At the heart of it all is the premier art platform, J_ Art Link. J_ Art Link awaits you, showcasing a diverse range of artworks, from pieces that carry on tradition and have long been recognized for their value, to gift items such as crafts and paintings featuring modern ideas.

Purpose of establishment
Our art of mother-of-pearl, a light to the world
I have witnessed the unfortunate reality where mother-of-pearl lacquerware, considered the foremost representative field of Korean traditional culture and arts, is gradually being forgotten and disappearing as it gets buried in Western culture amidst the wave of globalization, while neighboring countries such as Japan and Taiwan are showing great interest, sparing no support or sponsorship, and striving to revitalize it. Faced with this reality, I have developed a strong determination to preserve Korean traditional culture and arts, including mother-of-pearl lacquerware, out of considerable concern that we might be losing the soul of our nation.

Promoting Korea's beautiful art at home and abroad
While the status of K-Art is rapidly rising and garnering interest and acclaim worldwide, the unfortunate reality remains that it is limited to specific fields. We aim to widely promote Korea's beautiful traditional art through domestic and international art fairs and exhibitions, and to provide opportunities for young artists who wish to realize their dreams by fully unfolding their artistic worlds through diverse experiences.
Vision
Securing domestic and international distribution channels
J-ArtLink aims to support the preservation and succession of Korean mother-of-pearl lacquerware with pride among the younger generation through extensive initiatives spanning generations via domestic and international art fairs and exchange exhibitions, enabling the art form to stand tall as a globally acclaimed field, while also securing diverse domestic and international distribution channels.
