Shatto Gallery is proud to present Unlimited, the first solo exhibition by Southern California-based multimedia artist Ji Oh with the gallery. Spanning Oh’s extensive, multidisciplinary career, Unlimited interrogates the transformative potential of various mediums, resituating materiality as the primary locus of artistic inquiry.

​

A central throughline in Oh’s practice is the constant negotiation of boundaries. Organized methodologically, Unlimited showcases the multitudinous ways Oh tackles artistic questions and challenges. Rejecting the notion that a medium is constrained to a fixed identity or function, she dissects, explores, and experiments with various materials while engaging with art history, cultural memory, and the natural world to challenge and reinterpret established artistic and historical narratives. 

Photographs are cleaved, woven, and reconstructed into new spatial tessellations. Repurposed fabrics are sculpted, dyed, and collaged to serve as both medium and subject. Found objects, liberated from their original functions, are reassembled to unlock new visual and conceptual possibilities.

Unlimited is the self-portrait of an inquisitive artist focused not on what materials, images, and narratives are, but on what they can become. For Oh, artmaking is a refusal of permanence. Rejecting the idea that there are fixed boundaries in art, she proves that within each medium and idea lies an unbound potential waiting to be transformed into something new. 

Ji Oh is a Southern California-based multimedia artist. She received her BFA from California State University, Fullerton, and her MFA from Claremont Graduate University. Oh has presented over ten solo exhibitions across the United States and Asia, alongside numerous group exhibitions spanning the US, Asia, Australia, and Europe, including a recent showcase at the Museum of Fashion and Textiles in Naples, Italy.
