He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Chugye University for the Arts in Seoul. In 1997 he moved to the United States and did Masters Studies work at Easter Michigan University before receiving a Master of Fine Arts from the Mount Royal School at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>Ahn uses light sources such as Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), fluorescent, and black lights that are installed between mirrors and one-way mirrors in housings of plywood, cast concrete, or cast acrylic materials. These constructions allow him to generate the illusion of infinitely reflecting light sculptures, be they never-ending tunnels, bottomless pits, or a variety colorful repeating patterns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am pleased to finally be able to exhibit the amazing work of this young artist,\u201d says Gene Jenneman, Executive Director of the Dennos Museum Center, \u201cEver since seeing it at Art Miami in 2012, I have wanted to bring it to the Dennos, but Ahn\u2019s extensive exhibition schedule did not allow us to do so until now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ahn\u2019s first solo exhibition was with C. Grimaldis Gallery, Baltimore, Maryland in 2003. Since then he has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome, the Saatchi Gallery in London and at the Palazzo Bembo during the 55th\u00a0Venice Biennale. His work is included in numerous private and public collections in Paris, Karlsruhe, Seoul, Istanbul, and Dubai as well as in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibition ismade possible with the cooperation of <strong>the C. Grimaldis Gallery<\/strong><strong>, <\/strong>Baltimore, MD, and support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, the National Endowment for the Arts, The Art and Mary Schmuckal Fund, the Robert T. and Ruth Haidt Hughes Memorial Endowment Fund.<\/p>\n<p>The Dennos Museum Center is open Monday to Saturday 10 AM to 5 PM, Thursday until 8 PM and Sundays 1-5 PM.
