Gallery KOEN is a Los Angeles-based gallery representing a new perspective and generational shift on collectible Korean objects, furniture, and art. Founded in 2024 by Ibi Yoo and Matthew Jung-Quillen, the gallery celebrates Korean heritage and provides a platform for emerging talent.

Both Ibi and Matthew were born in Korea and moved to the U.S. at a young age, where they developed a profound appreciation for art and culture. Despite the rich tapestry of art available in the U.S., they noticed a gap in the representation of Korean artists. This observation inspired them to create a space where the unique voices and distinctive works of Korean artists could be showcased to a wider audience.

At Gallery KOEN, we specialize in high-end, handcrafted art and furniture. Each piece is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and reflects a deep commitment to quality. Our gallery is dedicated to working exclusively with emerging Korean artists, whether they are based in Korea or anywhere around the globe. We believe in the immense potential of these artists and strive to provide them with the exposure they deserve.

Our mission is to introduce and share fresh and innovative Korean art with collectors, offering them a chance to experience something new and exciting. By highlighting the work of talented young Korean artists, we aim to present new perspectives and creative expressions to the art world.
