Lee Ufan is a Korean minimalist painter and sculptor artist and academic, honored by the government of Japan for having "contributed to the development of contemporary art in Japan." The art of this artist, who has long been based in Japan, is rooted in an Eastern appreciation of the nature of materials and also in modern European phenomenology. The origin of Mono-ha may be found in Lee's article "Sonzai to mu wo koete Sekine Nobuo ron (Beyond Being and Nothingness – A Thesis on Sekine Nobuo." Once this initial impetus given, Mono-ha congealed with the participation of the students of the sculptor Yoshishige Saitō, who was teaching at Tama University of Art at the time. One evidence may be found in the book [ba, so, toki]. Lee, the main theorist of the Mono-ha tendency in Japan in the late 1960s and early 1970s, was trained as a philosopher. As a painter, Lee contributed to 'Korean Monotone Art', the first artistic movement in 20th century Korea to be promoted in Japan. He advocates a methodology of de-westernization and demodernization in both theory and practice as an antidote to the Eurocentric thought of 1960s postwar Japanese society. Lee divides his time between Kamakura, Japan and Paris, France.

Bahc Yiso, also known as Mo Bahc, was a visual artist, cultural organizer, curator, theorist, and educator considered a critical figure in Korea's contemporary art scene, especially for his contributions in localizing the Euro-American discourse of postmodernism. The artist had gone by three first names during his lifetime; while Cheol-ho was his legal name, he adopted the name Mo during his time in New York, which he changed to Yiso when he returned to South Korea. Both of the adopted names indicate the artist's self-identification of being displaced or on the periphery, which he had hoped it be a position of privilege "with more freedom to do something unexpected."
