This special exhibition features six prominent Korean galleries that participated in Art Basel Hong Kong 2025: Arario Gallery, Gallery Baton, Johyun Gallery, Leeahn Gallery, Wooson Gallery, and Jason Haam.

CHOI Byung-So’s work embodies the accumulated passage of time through the process of repetitive labor. NAM Tchun-Mo explores unique spatial aesthetics through the interplay of lines and dimensions. KIM Jungwook delves into the flow of cosmic energy and humanity's role within it, inviting viewers to engage in reflection. LEE So Yeun crafts self-portraits that poignantly express personal memories and era-specific identities. JO Jong Sung reinterprets traditional Korean landscapes with multi-perspective techniques, offering a refreshing contemporary twist. AN Gyungsu reimagines suburban scenery through innovative painting methods. BAE Yoon Hwan addresses social issues through animated storytelling, using anthropomorphic animals to convey his artistic narrative.

Like the patterns of a kaleidoscope, these artists show their unique and creative realms through diverse artistic backgrounds and expressions. Through these works, they harmonize Korean aesthetics with modern sensibilities, going beyond merely presenting Korean art to reinterpreting its traditions and contemporary elements in distinctive ways, thereby challenging the global art scene. This exhibition, held in Hong Kong—one of Asia’s premier art hubs—breaks down the boundaries between East and West through the unique artistic expressions of five artists. It delivers unique and meaningful messages through a variety of artistic philosophies. Different cultures and emotions merge through art, creating endlessly evolving new patterns and offering opportunities for rich artistic encounters. Over the divides of East and West, religion, and nationality, this exhibition provides a chance to directly experience the “harmony through art” that defines contemporary Korean art.
