From July 12 to August 19, Art Pick 30, an exhibition highlighting 30 contemporary Korean artists, will be held at the Seoul Arts Center Hangaram Art Museum. The exhibition is the first media-selected art festival in Korea, co-hosted by three media companies, TV Chosun, Newsis, and Art Chosun, and curated by Aifnco and Art Chosun Space.

The exhibition features more than 150 works by artists such as Yoon Hyung-Geun, Park Seo-Bo, and Lee Bae, as well as emerging artists such as Kwon Hana, DADAZ and Jeon Ahyun. The medium of works are also diverse, including painting, three-dimensional, and installation. With the growing interest in art fairs, the exhibition aims to shed light on the present and future of Korean contemporary art through artists who possess artistic quality, popularity, and marketability. The 30 participating artists were handpicked by the organizing medias, and the artists were selected based on the criteria differentiating from other art fairs and art shows.

Through Art Pick 30, visitors will be able to see a wide range of works that have attracted the attention of Korean art lovers, from Seobo Park’s Ecriture to DADAZ’s work on NFT art and digital painting.
