Lee In's solo show at Artcube 2R2 explores social identity
Artist Lee In's solo exhibition 'Encounters on the Horizon' opened Friday at Artcube 2R2 in Gangnam-gu, southern Seoul, where the artist explores questions about identity in society. The solo exhibition consists of two series, 'Palette, something' and 'Black, something,' encompassing Lee's oil paintings and sculptures, which use hanji, traditional Korean mulberry paper. Lee delves into the question of social relationships, according to the gallery. Artcube 2R2 is run by ArtToken, an online platform for trading art in the form of non-fungible tokens. The exhibition runs through June 11. Lee's solo exhibition coincides with a group exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where he is among the 34 featured artists. The exhibition at LACMA, titled 'Line, Form, Qi: Calligraphic Art from the Foundation INK Collection,' examines innovations in calligraphic art through works of contemporary calligraphy. The exhibition opened April 6 and runs through Oct. 19. The works on display at LACMA reveal the evolution of the pictograph, and explore the relationship between content and form, the development of new scripts and the abstraction of the written word, according to the museum.

ArtToken to join upcoming Art Dubai 2025
Art Token, an online non fungible token art trading platform, will join Art Dubai 2025, scheduled to take place Friday to Sunday. The trading platform will introduce four Asian artists based in Seoul, Hong Kong and Tokyo to the digital section of the art fair. Among the artists is Genesis Kai, a chiral twin and AI-infused alter ego created by Ming Shiu, who will show a meditative digital installation inspired by Korea's traditional moon jar. Painter Oh Ji-yoon, whose works feature layers of "hanji," or Korean traditional mulberry paper, pearl powder and gold, will present a monochromatic abstraction painting at the art fair. Meanwhile, taking a cat as a metaphor for his paintings, Hiroyuki reinterprets Western masterpieces such as Vincent Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait with a Bandaged Ear and Pipe." Painter Oh Soon-kyung reinterprets Korean traditional folk paintings, or "minhwa," into her own artistic practice in a contemporary way. Art Dubai 2025, one of the leading art fairs in the Middle East since 2007, will be held at Madinat Jumeirah, showcasing works from 40 countries and 120 art galleries.
