EXPLORING VISUAL ART THROUGH HANGEUL BY AHN SANG-SOO

Munjabanya is a comprehensive collection of the Ahn’s Hollyeora (Be Spellbound) series that unveils his expertise in graphic design, typography, and visual art. Ahn, who refers to himself as ‘Nalgae,’ the ‘president’ of the Paju Typography Institute, is one of Korea’s most prominent designers. He has spent over 40 years exploring the forms of Hangeul, probing into a visual world centered around text. His work not only transforms the shapes of characters—rich with words, sounds, and ideas—into pure visual forms, but also uncovers the spiritual essence of text through its aesthetic beauty.
