LG OLED presents digital versions of artist Kim Whanki's work at Frieze New York
Electronics brand LG OLED is exhibiting works by the late Korean artist Kim Whanki at Frieze art fair in New York, as captured in this exclusive video produced for the brand by Dezeen.
Called We Meet Again in New York, the installation features five animated versions of original works by Whanki, a pioneer of 20th-century Korean abstract art.
LG OLED is exhibiting digitally reimagined works at this year's Frieze New York
LG OLED Art translated Whanki's work into digital form, aiming to accurately reproduce details and colours in the original work by harnessing LG's self-lit OLED technology.
The brand designed the exhibition to showcase the level of detail Whanki put into his work, which involved hand-painting mosaic-like dots on canvas with a thin inkbrush. The show explores five digital versions of artworks by the late Korean artistÂ
The five works shown at Frieze were originally created by Whanki during his time in New York between 1963 and 1974.
Whanki referenced memories of his homeland of Korea in the pieces, as well as the New York art scene that he was surrounded by at the time.
Whanki developed his signature "all-over dot" style while in New York
During his stay in New York, Whanki experimented with different materials and techniques, including his signature "all-over dot" style, which can be seen in the works on display at Frieze.
While in New York, Whanki hosted a total of six solo exhibitions, with the last one being presented the year before...
