Who designed your mural?
Chef/Owner Ann Kim worked with visual artist Julia Chon (Kimchi Juice) to design the mural that lives on the south side of our building, along the alley leading to Bronto Bar.
What's the name of your mural? What is the inspiration and meaning behind it?
The name of our mural is "Guardians of the Flame.” The work reflects Chef Ann’s Korean heritage. Its intention is to spread healing and protective energy, and inspire fearlessness and bold transformation even in the darkest of times.
The bright green, blue, red and yellow colors are those found in Korean temples. The woman is wearing a traditional Korean 'hanbok' in yellow, which was a color traditionally worn only by royalty. She represents the center and the keeper of the flame. The dragon and phoenix, are custodians of the east and south, bringing rebirth, transformation, and wisdom to those in their presence.
Who designed your branding?
Our Kim's brand was created by Twin Cities-based designer Nancy McCabe and Bronto Bar was created by Erik Hamlin.
