One artist that Gallery KKI is especially excited to introduce to the Korean art scene is Remy Hysbergue, a French abstract artist. His unique works, based on velvet support, challenge the boundaries of abstraction and explore the possibilities of unconventional surfaces. Gallery KKI has recently signed an Asia-wide exclusive contract with Hysbergue, and his works will be shown in Korea for the first time. The luminosity and materiality of his works, due to the qualities of velvet, can only be fully appreciated in person.

Visitors to Booth D-32 can expect a diverse range of contemporary artworks that reflect Gallery KKI's mission to promote emerging artists and contribute to the growth of the Korean art scene. With the public dates running from May 5th to May 7th.

Gallery KKI's participation in ART BUSAN 2023 promises to be an exciting event for the Korean art world, showcasing the gallery's commitment to discovering and promoting emerging talents in the contemporary art scene.
