The 'ARTTOKEN X BAUM' side announced that "This KIAF PLUS exhibition presents the works of six artists exploring new formativeness, and some works that have been digitally NFTed are also exhibited. We also present what formal possibilities the NFT conversion of existing works shows in the art market." They added, "The six selected artists showcase approximately 30 physical works and NFT works, focusing on new pieces. The participating artists demonstrate strong experimentation by continuously building their own unique artistic elements through active domestic and international activities, thereby gaining recognition in the art world and the art market. Their new and creative energy crosses the boundaries of tradition and modernity, East and West, fine art and popular art, and is expected to stand out not only in Korea but also in the global market by establishing a unique artistic worldview."

They further introduced, "This exhibition is not a display that lists works for sale, but rather showcases works based on three themes: Pop, Body, and Thought, allowing visitors to appreciate and enjoy the works more deeply." They explained, "The new formative attempt of ARTTOKEN, a hot NFT platform that transforms hot contemporary art works into NFT art, continues through this KIAF PLUS."

Jihee Kim: An icon of desire and hope that blooms in splendor

Furthermore, they added that "Artist Jihee Kim, who is emerging as one of the hottest artists in the art market, boldly reveals the symbolism of her work through various splendid icons from the perspective of modern people living in the contemporary era. The characters or animals appearing in her works are smiling in splendor, but their eyes are thoroughly covered with sunglasses, looking at the object reflected on the surface. The various splendid images in the work symbolize the universal desires of modern society and simultaneously establish themselves as modern 'icons' wishing for hope, highlighting the loneliness and contradiction of modern people. Through this dual attitude shown by the splendid icons and the figures in her work, Artist Jihee Kim reinterprets the appearance of modern people living with masked identities." They added that "In this KIAF PLUS, she is presenting new works, expressing splendid visual pleasure, formativeness, and her own modern sensibility."

In addition, “Artist Jihee Kim, who is emerging as the hottest artist in the art market, boldly reveals the symbolism of her work through her various colorful icons from the point of view of modern people living at the same time. The characters or animals appearing in her works are smiling in splendor, but their eyes are thoroughly covered with sunglasses, looking at the object reflected on the surface. Various colorful images in the work symbolize the universal desires of modern society and at the same time establish themselves as modern ‘icons’ that wish for hope, highlighting the loneliness and contradiction of modern people. Through her attitude, Kim Ji-hee reinterprets the appearance of modern people who live in a mask.” He added, “In this KIAF PLUS, she is presenting a new work, expressing splendid visual pleasure, formativeness, and her own modern sensibility.”
