Celebrated South Korean Artist Oh Myung Hee 
The South Korean artist, Oh Myung Hee, with her art exhibition brought a message of Shared Humanity to Oman with her solo exhibition that was held at Bait Muzna, ‘We Are All Flowers from the Same Garden; Reflections 2014-2024’. The exhibition was held from December 3, 2024 until January 2, 2025.
Bait Muzna Gallery, in collaboration with Metamorphosis Art Projects London, had announced the highly anticipated Middle Eastern launch of “We Are All Flowers from the Same Garden,” a solo retrospective exhibition by the renowned South Korean artist Oh Myung Hee.
Under the patronage of Sayyida Susan Al Said, Oh Myung Hee exhibited for the very first time in Oman. This solo retrospective celebrated a decade of Oh Myung Hee’s artistic exploration, using the garden as a metaphor for diversity, harmony, and interconnectedness.
Her work incorporates traditional Korean elements and modern materials, creating a wholly unique contemporary artistic language that reflects cycles of nature, the evolving roles of women, and the interplay between permanence and the ephemeral. This exhibition also celebrates 50 years of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Oman.
“We are honoured to present Oh Myung Hee’s work at Bait Muzna Gallery,” said Sayyida Susan Al Said, the gallery’s founder; adding, “This exhibition serves as a powerful reminder that despite our differences, we are all connected through our shared humanity.” The exhibition fostered greater cultural understanding between the two nations. Through Oh Myung Hee’s art, the exhibition aimed to build bridges between South Korean and Omani audiences, highlighting shared values, heritage, and the collective human experience, said the organizers. Oh Myung Hee, is known for her evocative three-dimensional works, videos, and multimedia installations that combine traditional Korean materials such as mother-of-pearl, eggshell, and lacquer with contemporary themes. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including The Nairobi National Museum Kenya, Saatchi Gallery London, the 59th Venice Biennale, and Museum San, Wonju Korea. Now, she brings her visionary art to Oman, marking a significant moment in cross-cultural exchange between South Korea and the Middle East.
