Hye Yeong Kim (b.1995) is an emerging artist based in Korea, whose work explores themes of solitude, isolation, and stillness. Trained in traditional Korean painting, Kim combines Korean pigments with contemporary media, including acrylics, oils, and oil-colored pencils on linen and canvas, to produce highly detailed and realistic works. Her paintings often depict vacant homes, solitary figures, and expansive landscapes, creating tranquil spaces that invite quiet reflection and contemplation. 

Central to Kim's practice is the belief that solitude is a crucial condition for personal growth and self-discovery. Drawing inspiration from Paulo Coelho’s notion of solitude as a transformative force, Kim’s work offers viewers a respite from the distractions of modern life. Through her serene, immersive landscapes—often featuring the sea—she creates spaces where viewers can engage deeply with the artwork and reflect on their own experiences. With her unique fusion of traditional techniques and modern sensibilities, Kim is quickly establishing herself as a distinctive voice in the Korean contemporary art scene.

Duenchayphoochana Phooprasert is an artist and author who currently teaches for the Visual Arts Program at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Valaya Alongkorn University. Duenchayphoochana’s works of art have always involved clay. She utilizes raw materials like wood, clay, water, and sunlight to depict her ideas about the relationship between change in nature and change in human beings. When natural energy causes “movement” in the artwork, it is similar to the work of time and events that create both good and evil “movement” for humans. Her creation, therefore, suggests the universal truth about energy shifting that has affected us all along.

Georg Baselitz has had a profound influence on international art since 1980 and is indisputably one of the most important artists of our time. He shaped a new identity for German art in the second half of the 20th century; in reaction to the trauma and tragedy of the Second World War, he developed an artistic vocabulary which draws on the work of his forebears, whilst remaining unique and wholly individual. Since then, Baselitz has consistently renewed his practice through formal developments, often responding to art history and his own extensive oeuvre to develop his central themes through an ever-evolving, yet distinct, mode of artistic expression.

The artist has been painting his compositions upside down since 1969. For Baselitz, this novel format was a way of emptying form of its content, navigating between abstraction and figuration, and revolutionising a medium that was then regarded as irredeemably conventional. His directly tactile method of painting with his fingers in the 1970s encouraged a freer use of colour and material that would come to the fore in his expressionist colour fields of the 1980s. This was a seminal decade for the artist, opening with his selection to represent Germany at the 1980 Venice Biennale alongside Anselm Kiefer, which marked his first foray into sculpture.

Volo observes the efforts of everyone living through anxiety and translates it into art by depicting their attempts at self-reliance. She represents the feeling of anxiety through abstract images focused on texture, then reinterprets these images by freely cutting and pasting them to attempt "finding balance." The use of techniques such as cutting, pasting, and stacking, which are borrowed from play, reflects her approach to anxiety: not being consumed by its negative aspects, but rather viewing it positively and utilizing it playfully. The paintings and sculptures, even if the pieces do not fit perfectly, form towers or arches that symbolize various forms of self-reliance, while also representing the multiple relationships that involve interacting and creating solidarity with others. Her major exhibitions include <CRAFT+MAN=SHIP> (2024, Seoulbattleship), <Which Working, Nowadays>(2023, CDA), and <Finding Language> (2022, Gallery Bincan). She participated in the short residency program "Asura Hwalhwalta" organized by the Youth Village in Haenam, Jeollanam-do, and her recent work focuses on the paradoxical imagery of beauty and pain coexisting, as well as the cognitive processes of human beings.

An artist who uses the domestic realm in her work as a starting point for discussing broader matters such as the domestication of women’s politics, authoritarianism and fascism, patriarchy and capitalism, which are still there and have been her concern.

Artist GBDAY’s interest in art grew when he first encountered skateboarding culture and fashion during his adolescence. The artist later began to work on graphics and paintings during his studies in graphic design at university. His artistic stage name, "GBDAY," stands for "Good Day & Bad Day," which contains the artist's desire to illustrate different experiences and emotions of his daily life.

His stage name and its meaning profoundly influenced the world of his work and its creation. 

The artist gains inspiration from human relationships, emotions, and social phenomena he captures daily. His work mainly deals with themes around love, separation, emptiness, and death. The artist links these themes with the skeleton motif, influenced by tattoos, skateboarding culture, and
hip-hop and band music he listened to. The Skeleton motif symbolizes an equal and pure being that everyone, regardless of gender or race, can sympathize with and illustrates the world beyond reality and death. Moreover, Cherry denotes the uncertainty of life, desire, and fruition, and Butterfly portrays life after a newborn death. 

GBDAY uses drawing as a subject that best reveals himself. His works mainly focus on graffiti and pen drawings, although he continuously experiments with various styles and media to develop a unique work. He currently uses graphite and acrylic paints for most of his works, aiming to expand his ways of expression. Furthermore, the artist frequently presents parody-based works where he adds a twist to an existing painting or work that may be familiar to the audience. The artist claims he enjoys creating parody-based works because he wishes his audience to approach art more easily and have some fun interacting with his work. 

"Life Goes On" is a message that signifies not only GBDAY's art but also his life philosophy.

The artist intends to deliver joy and happiness to the audience through his work, conveying the bliss of our life journey. GBDAY is interested in exploring new styles and materials to convey a wider range of emotions in his art.

Language is the very basis of David Douard’s work. The texts and poems he collects on the Internet are manipulated, transformed in order to become a vital flow, feeding into his sculptures. Through language as an ingredient, David Douard redefines space as hybrid and collective by injecting anonymous, chaotic, deviant, ill and frustrating poems in it. As he recreates an infected environment where the real world used to be, the fantasy brought by new digital technologies expands.

Minjung Key studied traditional East Asian painting at Seoul National University, where she also completed her graduate studies. The artist’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in an intimate engagement with materials. By juxtaposing the weight and coldness of glass with the softness of hanji, she explores the tension between contrasting materials. In her newer works, however, this exploration evolves—what emerges is a visual language shaped by the rhythmic qualities inherent in the line itself. These lines, generated through a painterly logic, coalesce into forms that assert a palpable sense of weight and presence within the pictorial space.


Toshiyuki Shibakawa developed an installation of "Excavation site 2000 years later" and recently produced (fossil) type artifacts excavated from there. They not only exhibit individual works but also exhibit various things (Archaeo- logical materials, works of art, antiques, relics, goods, etc.) in collaboration. They hold exhibitions and projects that focus on the region and place such as museums in Japan and overseas, historical buildings and shopping streets. At the same time, they hold workshops for a wide range of people, and continue their activities to reexamine the existence of things and contemporary problems.

Nuttiwut (1993) presents his artwork through the chaotic journey of his own life because these experiences are relatable to may people who may have never realized it. Also, he expresses his work to make fun of himself and the surrounding society, The artist has been creating works and exhibiting constantly. For example, “The Twelve Labours of Hercules” in 2018, “The Art of Survival” in 2019 and additionally he had joined group exhibitions such as “HUMAN-19” in 2020 and “The spirit of Six” in 2019 at Number1Gallery, Hotel Art Fair in 2024. Besides he had participated an international exhibition for instance “Art Expo Malaysia 2019” and Art Fair Philippines in 2020 , Art Busan 2024.


He focuses on the instinctive five senses that can be felt in screens, spaces, and objects that encourage erotic imagination. While visualizing the ‘desire for the unreachable’ in two-dimensional or three-dimensional works, he is also exploring the tactile sensations that can reach it. By recording and re-sensing the body in three-dimensional and flat surfaces, he is attempting to explore the body that has been sensed and the body that is being eroded by the desire to be sensed.

The artist mixes representations of the human body from the past to the present and places them in a contemporary context. The story of the inevitable relationship between wounding and healing is told in a way that remains ambiguous due to the dual representation of the image.

Exploring photography not just as a mere recording medium but as a sculptural material with infinite possibilities, and through this, constructing a new visual language.

Kim Seoul was born in 1983 in Daegu, South Korea, where she spent her early years. After graduating from the Department of Printmaking at Hongik University, she went on to earn both her master’s and doctoral degrees in Painting and Printmaking from Tama Art University in Japan. Though her real name is Kim Sohee, the artist works under the name "Kim Seoul." This choice was inspired by other artists who create a separation between their personal identity and artistic persona. She selected "Seoul"—a name recognizable even to those outside Korea—as a way to symbolically represent her practice and identity as an artist.

In her series “Solitary Box Diary,” Kim Seoul shifts from her earlier works, which visualized urban density and solitude through box-like structures, to a more introspective focus on personal space and daily life. She folds cardboard boxes and flattens them onto paper surfaces, using silkscreen printmaking techniques to highlight the traces left behind. Everyday imagery and experiences are then drawn over the surface, inviting viewers to reflect on and connect with shared moments from ordinary life.

Born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, Chonnapas Yokyai (ฺBorn in 2000) is an artist graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts, majoring in Painting, Sculpture, and Printmaking at Silpakorn University.

Fueled by her interest in everyday life from a feminist perspective, her art endeavors to explore the answers with the societal framework she confronts. Through vibrant and surrealistic paintings and subtly veiled figurines, she casts a spell, inviting viewers to interpret and explore through their own personal experiences. Her art portrays a peculiar and twisted scape, inviting people to interpret and explore through their own personal experiences. 

Chonnapas became well-known among collectors from the group exhibition ‘Utopia’ (2024) at River City Bangkok and the group exhibition ‘Perplexa Scenario’ (2024) at Joyman Gallery.
