Koryo Studio is a British-run company based in Hong Kong and China, we are an independent organisation and have no affiliation whatsoever with the DPRK (North Korean) government.
Our goal has always been to commission work, rather than simply buy from North Korean art studios. North Korean artists work to a brief set by founder and director Nicholas Bonner.
Weekly featured art from the Koryo Studio collection and monthyl deep-dives into artwork, movies, books, and everything else. Be the first to know about sales as well as up-to-date information on exhibitions and projects.
The first Western art gallery to specialise in North Korean art.
A range of International Public and Private Exhibitions displaying the Koryo Studio collection of North Korean art, and more.
Working with North Korean artists to express themselves in a more nuanced way than the limits imposed on them by their DPRK studio.
Prices vary depending on the artwork. Produced using high-quality printing methods. Purchases from commissions come with a Koryo Studio authentication seal.
Koryo Studio publications on North Korea offer an interesting and unique insight into a world otherwise so unseen.
Over the years we have worked with various teams on collaborations on films in North Korea as well as our own productions, including a feature-length movie in North Korea.
