Kiaf SEOUL 2025 HIGHLIGHTS

Kiaf SEOUL proudly presents ten artists in the ‘Kiaf SEOUL 2025 HIGHLIGHTS’ section. Launched in 2023, Kiaf HIGHLIGHTS is a curated program that identifies and showcases the most compelling artistic voices within the fair. The initiative seeks to reimagine the art fair not merely as a marketplace, but as a dynamic platform for artistic discourse and a space for cultivating emerging talent.

The theme for this year is “Resonance.” It captures the idea that waves originating in the artist’s inner world ripple outward—to viewers, galleries, and the broader art ecosystem—generating new reverberations of meaning and emotion. Amongst hundreds of artists and thousands of artworks, Kiaf HIGHLIGHTS has selected ten individuals whose practices most powerfully embody this resonance. Each participating gallery in Kiaf SEOUL 2025 nominated one artist, and a jury of esteemed art professionals reviewed the nominees to select the final ten. These artists will be prominently featured across Kiaf’s official channels and a range of media platforms, reaching both domestic and international audiences. In addition, three artists will be selected through an on-site jury review to receive grants, enabling them to further develop their artistic practices.

Kiaf HIGHLIGHTS prioritizes the clarity of artistic vision, the uniqueness of voice, and the work’s resonant impact—rather than commercial metrics. The selected works invite viewers to engage deeply with the artists’ inner worlds, their thoughts, perceptions, and emotional sensibilities. In this shared space, artists, audiences, and the wider art community—each moving to their own rhythm—are invited to converge, resonate, and spark new momentum in contemporary art.
