Mr Doodle began to garner recognition in the art world in 2017 and has since seen a meteoric rise in interest in his work. He stands at the forefront of a new art wave, taking the online art community by storm with a mass social media following. Truly a millennial artist, his works provoke discourse on what we consider fine art today.
Mr Doodle’s works transcend beyond the canvas, invading furniture, big surfaces, clothing, and more. Like other artists of his generation, he also explored a number of collaborations with iconic brands, including Fendi, Puma, Samsung, Disney and MTV to begin with. But where Mr Doodle
separates himself is in his sense of purpose: a deep and obsessive compulsion to expand and share his vision of his DoodleLand. As a form of release or meditation, his process is fluid, therapeutic, unrestrained, and without hesitation, as if channeling directly from his world into ours with great stamina. He ultimately seeks to spread a sense of wonder, happiness, and love.

Hyewon Na is a painter born in Gwangju, South Korea. Her work explores conflicting yet coexisting emotional states, such as anxiety, violence, imperfection, sacrifice, love, and beauty. Through her art, she reflects on human vulnerability and the tension between finitude and eternity. Her work is a study of how to aesthetically represent these human contradictions. Much of her inspiration comes from history, society, religion, and more.
She earned her Diplom from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden (under Professor Martin Honert) in Germany, and has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in South Korea, Berlin, Dresden, Paris, and other cities. She currently resides and works in Berlin, Germany.

The overarching theme of JIYOUNG LEE's work is the "Human Zoo." The term is inspired by zoos, depicting facets of human life where individuals, like animals in a zoo, lose their instincts and live predetermined lives shaped by societal expectations. The black ink wash surrounding the "Human Zoo" represents artificial rocks in the zoo, symbolizing societal norms, laws, and universal conventions desired by society. While seemingly protective, these elements also confine human nature. Through her art, JIYOUNG LEE aims to portray the individuality, homogenization, desires and confusion within this enclosed space, prompting reflection on the choices individuals make in navigating their lives within these confines.

Jan Kaláb (b. 1978, Prague, Czech Republic) is a contemporary Czech artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, and public art. Drawing on his background in architecture, sculpture, and fine arts, he creates vibrant abstract compositions that explore geometry, color, movement, and spatial perception. His work has been exhibited internationally in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America through solo and group exhibitions at galleries, museums, and art institutions.

Eunju Jeong is an abstract artist currently living and working in Daegu, South Korea. After graduating from a Masters degree in Western Painting at Kyemyung University, Eunju Jeong studied abroad at HBK Braunschweig in Germany, where she reached a deeper dimension in her color surface abstract paintings through a calm and stable exploration of the feelings and sensations of color. The artist focuses on expressing her inner flow through various colors that surface the canvas, and has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in various cities at home and abroad (need the names), working both on various flat works and semi-cubic sculptures. For over 30 years, Jeong's work has gone through a process of transformation, from painting to semi-cubic abstraction on acrylic and wooden boards, to a return to painting on canvas. To this day, she continues to work on imagining, contemplating, and dreaming through material and physical attributes, while evoking the emotional and tangible, as well as sensing what cannot be verbalized, codified, or most importantly, reproduced. Jeong's paintings are similar in appearance to chromatic abstraction through the  paint smears, brushstrokes, layers of color, the subtle spaces and crevices they create, the trajectory of the paint as it flows toward the floor by the law of gravity, and the way it smears and solidifies. It also allows us to see the myriad traces of the painting's progress and the passage of time that reveals all of its processes. These dense, wet paintings, with their cool, bold brushstrokes, are at once highly performative and a longing for a representation of a world that cannot be represented, a world that lies outside of visibility but is clearly felt and sensed. At the same time, they are paintings with impressions and tones that evoke a very specific empathy with the beautiful nature.

JaeBum Joo translates personal experience and memory into the visual language of the pixel. Seen from a distance his images resolve into a single clear picture, while up close the forms come apart and leave room for the viewer's own reading. He is drawn to the possibility that the less information a pixel carries, the more memory and story it can call up, and to the moment when an image drawn from his own life opens into a sensation anyone can lay their own experience over.

Having found his artistic identity in the 8 bit graphics of the cartoons and games he grew up with, he began by making images and animation on the computer and has more recently been bringing the pixel out of the screen and into physical space. Painted with a brush onto canvas and wood, the pixel meets the materiality of painting and sculpture and carries on as a visual language of its own, no longer the smallest unit of a display but a color, a form, and a sensation in itself. Small mistakes and unexpected errors often become the starting point of new ideas in his process, and he values those moments, hoping that each imperfect pixel leads to another sense and another story.

Widely regarded as a leading figure in Korean pixel art with a growing international following, he has collaborated with Google, Starbucks, Nexon, Gentle Monster, Adobe, Uniqlo, PUMA, Hypebeast, and with SM, YG, and JYP Entertainment, while continuing his own practice and its experiments without pause.

A water droplet hovers, suspended in the moment just before it falls. Artist Yoo Choong-mok captures this precarious instant, freezing it within space through the materiality of glass. This moment—poised on the brink of vanishing—is never static; it shifts and transforms with the interplay of light, gaze, and movement. Rather than explaining the subject, his work reveals the very moment when our senses are awakened. At the intersection of water droplet, glass, light, space, and the viewer’s own movements, the work emerges as a singular scene. As viewers pass through, they find themselves slowing down, if only for a brief moment.

The artist Lee Hee-myoung has been exploring a multifaceted perspective on the inner self using painting and installation works, with a focus on femininity and nature since her plant installation piece in 2006. She graduated from the Department of Painting and the Graduate School of Painting at Hongik University. She has held a total of 11 solo exhibitions, including one at the Zaha Museum of Art in 2019. Additionally, she has participated in around 50 group exhibitions, such as those at the Seoul Museum of Art (2007), Sungkok Museum of Art (2008), Soma Museum of Art (2018), and Zaha Museum of Art (2023). She endeavors to establish an internal connection seeking harmony between nature and the female body through diverse expressive techniques. Departing from a vertical mindset that seeks to dominate nature as a primitive world, Lee Hee-myoung advocates for a horizontal world that aligns femininity and nature. Through contemplation of nature and inner self, she creates reassembled works based on the combination of plants and the body, addressing the corporeality of nature and femininity. She also implements fairy-tale-like imagination and mythical symbolism across various spectrums, the positivity of aesthetic embrace and the unsettling shadow of the unknown are captured in her work.

Tum Ulit or Natakorn Ulit (ฺBorn in 1992) is an artist, cartoonist, and storyteller enamored with the world of cartoons since childhood. He completed his undergraduate studies in Animation Production at Mahidol University International College (MUIC). His passion for cartooning stems from a profound need to articulate and navigate through deep-seated pain and sorrow nestled within his soul. Through the art of cartooning, Tum discovered a transformative medium, allowing him to explore his innermost self and the intricate nuances of his emotional journey. 

Tum Ulit first gained recognition among readers through his webcomic series featured on his page “Tum Ulit”. What distinguishes him is his ability to narrate stories through visuals alone, reaching deep into the emotions and touching the souls of readers from diverse backgrounds and languages worldwide. This unique approach has inspired him to continuously create works that resonate as ambassadors of people’s emotions. Tum Ulit hopes above all that his creations spark profound reflections and become symbols of apologies, remembrance, or lingering sentiments in people’s hearts. Presently, his page boasts a global following of over 1.7 million individuals. 

In 2022, Tum Ulit made his debut in the art scene with the group exhibition “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?”, followed by “To the Moon and (Never) Back” in 2023 and his first solo exhibition, “Who’s Cutting Onions?” (2024) which all held at River City Bangkok. These showcases, especially his solo exhibition, captured the attention of collectors and enthusiasts alike, both locally and internationally. 


Warawut Tourawong currently holds the position of an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture, and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University. He began creating lifelike figurative paintings that aim to convey meaning through surface characteristics, reflecting objects that influence humans through clothing imagery and the expressions of individuals.

Born in 1985 in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mirza Cizmic is a Helsinki-based artist who primarily works with oil on primed paper. His practice also includes sculpture, performance, and video works.

Cizmic’s artistic expression is rooted in personal experience. Rather than painting through a conventional visual lens, he interprets the world through the filter of lived experience. His artistic language is divided into two instincts: one objective and formal, the other subjective and deeply personal. This duality creates a process of moving from confusion toward understanding.

He actively engages with the boundaries between art and life, art and society, and art and activism. His role as an artist is shaped by constant self-questioning, aiming to dismantle conventional taboos, depoliticize the discourse, and highlight the core of human experience.

Jiyoon Jeong - has held group and solo exhibitions in the UK and Hong Kong.  She has a strong domestic fanbase and is an emerging artist with a lot of potential for future success.


Through his work, Hyunho Park soothes the trauma in memory, replaces its image with other images and functions as though he is undergoing his own rehabilitation. He majored in Western Painting and Video Media at Seoul National University, is currently undertaking a master's degree in Western Painting at the same university, and aesthetically conveys a sense of the past and recollections. The artist depicts disasters like tsunamis, enormous waves, aurora, and meteorites with dazzling forms and hues in his paintings. He tackles not only the artist himself, but also confronts natural objects with self-portraits of the weak human body inside the minds of contemporary people. With synaesthetic imagery, he shares the story of his tough life experience and urges the audience to empathise with his feelings. 

Mónica Loya (b.1990, Mexico) has shown at KÖNIG in Mexico City and exhibited widely across Mexico, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Portugal. Her work merges sharp visual instincts with everyday imagery, constructing dissonant compositions that evoke the surreal logic of dépaysement. Found moments from smartphone snapshots and scenes from daily life are reconstructed on the canvas in new, ambiguous contexts. Through witty compositions, fluid lines, and vibrant tones—often red, blue, and pink—Loya transforms the ordinary into invisible yet emotionally potent events. The viewer is invited to observe and complete the work through their evolving emotional engagement, stepping directly into her open-ended world.

Changyeol Gu translates the sensorial language of plants—acquired through growing up near lush fields and overgrown meadows—into a painterly language of his own. Observing how natural forms continually shift their appearance through colour and shape, the artist identifies mechanisms of seduction devised for reproduction and systems of protection evolved for survival. These elements are perceived not merely as formal characteristics of nature, but as autonomous languages in themselves.

By radically enlarging or intensifying the structures through which plants communicate and endure—such as the arrangement of pistils and stamens, the colours and scents that attract pollinators, and the thorns and hairs evolved for defence—the artist summons onto the canvas the distinctive wonder of what he terms “speaking plants.”

Chansong Kim focuses on 'moment', the finding of fleeting emotions and insignificant experiences in our daily life. She majored in Fine Arts at Kookmin University and has continued to paint with a concentration on borders. She discovered that she was unfamiliar with a photograph in which only parts of her body were captured by mistake, and she studied the boundaries that separate her from what is outside of her body. In addition, she expressed the adaptation, conflict, and tension of a new existence in an unfamiliar place through the “Garden Series,” which was inspired by the narrative of Paris's free and beautiful gardens and plants during her 2015 year-long stay there. Chansong Kim, who is captivated by the uncertainty of painting, indicates the direction of future works, which she considers to be a balance between an interest in the subject's integrity and the material's physical properties.

Ary Kurniawan is a talented acrylic painter known for his vibrant and expressive works on canvas. He began his artistic journey at SMSR (SMKN4) Padang, where he studied from 2007, and further honed his skills at the prestigious Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI Yogyakarta), graduating in 2011.

As an imaginative, reliable, and organized artist, Ary has a profound desire to transform dreams into beautiful creations. His artwork not only showcases his passion for color and form but also serves as effective visual communication that addresses challenges and encourages action. Through his paintings, Ary invites viewers to explore the emotions and stories embedded in each piece, making a meaningful connection with the audience.

Alex Jo’s work, which is bright, bold, and colorful, is in stark contrast to his actual appearance, who enjoys wearing achromatic colors and has an introverted personality. The reason why he prefers bright and colorful colors in his works is that he can express himself in a different way that he cannot show outwardly. While using pop-up colors as point colors, the greatest charm of his work is the comfort that stands out in harmony. The balance of pop-up colors presents the coexistence of comfort and splendor. Alex Jo composed and developed this color coordination based on organic and vintage colors which is inspired from the old pillars of traditional Korean houses and naturally dyed Hanbok (Korean traditional wear) garments with fruits and plants. In his work, what stands out along with the strong colors are the straight lines that give off a masculine feeling. It is also a beautiful characteristic of Alex Jo’s work that he has completed the subtle emotional delivery that harmoniously completes a rather cold line and a warm story by using the story of the artist's own warm sensibility as a message while using masculine shapes as the main motif. 

Since the debut of her acclaimed Sealed Smile series in 2008, Kim Jihee has garnered widespread attention for her unique approach—blending traditional East Asian painting techniques with contemporary portraiture. Her works, known for their vibrant aesthetics and emotionally resonant narratives, have earned both critical acclaim and broad public appeal.

Kim Jihee has held prominent solo exhibitions at institutions such as Gana Art Sounds and Gana Forum Space in Seoul. In 2024, she was invited for a blockbuster solo exhibition at China’s K11 Art Museum—led by Adrian Cheng, one of the world’s top 100 super collectors—and became the first Korean artist to collaborate with Discovery Park in Hong Kong. Her solo exhibition at Breeze Nanshan’s 333 Gallery in Taiwan further solidified her strong presence in the Chinese-speaking art world.

Her collectors include a notable list of global elites: Sabrina Ho (daughter of the late Macau casino magnate Stanley Ho), H.H. Sheikh Saud bin Sultan Al Qasimi of Sharjah, UAE, and other high-profile international art patrons. She is frequently referred to as “the artist loved by the super-rich.”
Beyond the gallery context, Kim Jihee actively engages in cultural collaborations.

As a leading figure in contemporary Korean art, Kim Jihee continues to expand her global influence, establishing herself as a distinctive voice in cities around the world.

EUM Hyunchul studied hotel management in Switzerland and later majored in film in Korea. After working across film, advertising, music videos, and as an MTV Creative Director, he developed his own distinct way of observing and interpreting images through these diverse experiences.

For him, tufting is not simply a craft technique, but a way of transforming images and sensations into tangible surfaces. The repetitive hand movements, density, and subtle differences in texture become a method of constructing the surface like a painting, while at the same time revealing a strong sense of materiality similar to sculpture.

Seung Eui Hyun, who majored in Oriental painting at Seoul National University, has continued to explore nature and space. Born and raised in Jeju Island, the artist reconstructs the tourism industry, the non-verbalized romanticism it incites, and the narratives hidden beneath the surface with a cynical perspective. She reveals the logic of capital operating beyond idealized landscapes and addresses environmental and social issues through her dense paintings. By presenting today's scenery as multi-layered images, the artist exposes the anxiety at the point where reality and romanticism intersect and collide. By depicting various phenomena within this gap, she lays bare the emptiness of the saturated modern world.

Cho Youngnam is a celebrated singer, television personality, and contemporary artist who has built a distinctive visual language that bridges popular culture and fine art. By reinterpreting the traditional Korean card game hwatu through the lens of pop art, he transforms a simple pastime into a cultural symbol and collective memory that transcends generations. His works dissolve the boundaries between tradition and modernity, mass culture and high art, humor and satire—expanding the aesthetic possibilities of contemporary art.
