에이원갤러리 Painting

Nestled in the heart of Seoul’s vibrant Gangnam district, the SETEC exhibition center pulsates with artistic energy. Here, amidst the city’s dynamic cultural landscape, lies the home of ART OnO, a unique international art fair dedicated to showcasing “One and Only” works of art. ART OnO, established in 2024, quickly garnered international attention, solidifying Seoul’s position as a burgeoning hub for contemporary art in Asia. This fair isn’t just another entry in a crowded art calendar. It’s a carefully curated platform designed to challenge conventions and prioritize artistic quality above all else. ART OnO founder, JaeMyung Noh, a young and passionate collector, noticed a recurring theme in his global art fair travels: a scarcity of fresh perspectives. He envisioned a space where emerging and established galleries could showcase innovative works, unburdened by exorbitant booth fees. ART OnO achieves this by keeping fees significantly lower than other Korean fairs. This encourages galleries to take risks, to bring the “One and Only” pieces that truly represent the cutting edge of contemporary art. The fair’s emphasis on quality over brand name allows smaller galleries with exceptional artists to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with blue-chip giants. At ART OnO, the emphasis is on building connections. The fair fosters collaboration between artists, institutions, and private collectors. It extends beyond the exhibition hall with curated tours of local galleries, artist studios, and even experiences centered around K-culture and K-cuisine. This immersive approach provides a holistic view of Seoul’s vibrant art ecosystem. ART OnO welcomes a diverse range of artistic expressions. Painting, sculpture, digital art, and installations converge to create a dynamic and stimulating experience for visitors. The fair features galleries from over 20 countries, many of whom made their Korean debut at ART OnO 2024. For art enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone seeking a fresh perspective on contemporary art, ART OnO offers a unique and enriching journey into the heart of Seoul’s artistic soul. It’s a celebration of creativity, innovation, and the pursuit of the “One and Only.”
