Sang Mun Ri

Sang Mun Ri is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This North Korean artist painted Mount Paektu, the country’s tallest peak and sacred symbol. In their 2008 canvas Mount Paektu and Heaven Lake (February 2008, Painting), winter snow meets the deep blue crater lake, a view locals consider the country’s heart. The brushwork keeps realism simple, letting the mountain’s layered slopes and frozen rim speak for themselves. Skip the labels for a moment and let the slopes and lake pull you in.
