Court Tree Collective is proud to present “Pink Soldiers”, a solo exhibition by ceramic artist Isolina Minjeong. Electric fusions of ancient funerary sculptures, Minjeong’s ceramic world examines cultural hybridity through craft. Life-size figures are adorned with weapons and talismans, accompanied by wild beasts guiding both her soldiers and the living through the unknown. Shameless in scale and rich in symbolism, these figures honor the ancient lineage of Korean and Peruvian stone carving. Dancing between clays, pop art, manga, and bootleg toy design, her army embodies the courageous spirit of the past and present.
