Chul-Hyun Ahn was born in in Busan, Korea. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Chu-Gye University for the Arts in Seoul, Korea and a Masters of Fine Arts from the Mount Royal School at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. Ahn is an artist of international acclaim, with works in numerous public and private collections including the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, the Hearst Foundation, Borusan Foundation, Delaware Art Museum, Palm Springs Art Museum, Sammlung Schroth Collection and the Jordan D.
