CHECK OUT THE ARTSY FEATURE ON COURT TREE! ︎




Isolina Minjeong (b. 1997, Chicago, IL) lives and works inBrooklyn, NY. Isolina’s practice redefines pop culture through craft. Fueled by the ancient lineage of Korean and Peruvian stone carving, her ceramic figures interweave the past with manga imagery and lore. Shameless in scale and response, her surreal world juxtaposes history through honoring past and future makers.









Keya Tama (b. 1997, South Africa) is a South African artist based in New York. Inspired by pastel color palettes, patterns, and symbolism, Keya's practice contrasts ancient and contemporary iconographies with themes of family, community, mono-myths, and minimalism.






John Vitale (b. 1979) is a self taught multidisciplinary artist. His work was previously shown in Portland, OR, at Nationale, Chefas Projects, Association, and Never Lab, and in Wenatchee, WA, at Collapse Contemporary. Vitale is a creative director, graphic designer, as well as the founder and creative mind behind The Killing Floor skateboard brand.








Jasper Stieve (b. 2000, Lambertville, NJ) is a self taught mixed media artist who is heavily influenced by industrious settings and admires the fluent chaos found in city scapes. Primarily working with found object and airbrush, his work often encourages interaction, pushing away the common “do not touch” principle. He lives and works in Brooklyn.

“DEFENDER” May 3rd - June 8th, 2024
by Isolina Minjeong and Keya Tama


Court Tree Collective proudly presents “Defender” , a duo exhibition by Isolina Minjeong and Keya Tama. These two young artists work by blending the old with the new and by infusing their cultural heritage into their creations. This new body of work breathes fresh life into traditional art forms. Their work is a vibrant reflection of their identity and experiences, enriching the viewer with diverse perspectives and narratives. The title “Defender” is for upholding traditions in a modern world. The exhibition features folklore history through ceramics, paintings, and tapestries. Combining traditional art forms, while incorporating elements of pop culture brings to light the protection of the past. Exacting the moment of when history becomes relevant in both the past and future.

Playing off each other’s strengths has unified the work as something special. Not only as two artists in pursuit of creating together, but in working in the present to bring a unique perspective on art history. 

“Defender” is an exhibition of their collaborative language. Through tapestries, paintings, muralism, and ceramic sculptures, Keya and Isolina protect each other’s hearts. This is their first duo exhibition in New York.
