Artist Kian84 third solo exhibition is returning to meet audiences after approximately three years.
According to the organizers on the 13th, Kian84’s 3rd solo exhibition titled ‘Wish’ will be held for 62 days from January 9 to March 11, 2027, at the Igansumun Exhibition Hall of the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul.
Previously, his second solo exhibition ‘Kian Island: A Bizarre Island’ held in 2024 garnered enthusiastic responses, selling a total of 170,000 tickets across exhibitions in Seoul, Busan, and Daegu. Returning about three years later, ‘Wish’ conveys the meaning of ‘a strange aspiration,’ stemming from the hopes and wishes everyone harbors in their hearts.
The upcoming exhibition will unveil a wide array of new works capturing the artist’s diverse perspectives and themes, including a new ‘Self-Portrait’ series, ‘LOVE’, ‘OCEAN’, and ‘Dream’s Wish’, which depicts moments of enjoying freedom and happiness in an unreal world.
Notably, Kian84’s unreleased early sketches are set to be revealed to the public for the first time, drawing significant attention. Arranged chronologically from original drawings during the period when he sought his own expressive style up to his current works, the exhibition provides a chronological overview of how the artist built his unique artistic world and the struggles behind it.
Collaborating brands IAB STUDIO, SAY TOUCHΓ, and print bakery will participate to introduce Kian84’s artworks and drawings as various art merchandise, including apparel, living objects, and limited-edition prints.
