Kuho Jung is the first external Artistic Director in the history of Kiaf SEOUL, appointed for the 25th anniversary edition in 2026. For this selection on ArtMajeur, he brings together artists from different eras and continents to explore the enduring theme of the solitary figure. Through painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography, each work reflects on silence, contemplation, and the relationship between the individual and its surroundings.

From modern masters to contemporary Korean and international artists, the collection traces a poetic dialogue on the presence and sometimes the absence of the human figure.

Takeru Amano's Daisies transforms a familiar floral motif into a refined contemporary icon, blending classical beauty with pop sensibility. The work explores the expressive power of simplicity, where material, form, and symbolism evokes moments of stillness and contemplation.

Curated by Jérôme Pantalacci, this selection brings together artists whose works explore the complexities of contemporary society through questions of identity, power, and belonging. Moving between irony, critique, and intimacy, the featured works reveal a world shaped by contradictions, from beauty standards and bodily autonomy to everyday life, vulnerability, and the acceptance of difference.
In Adoptez-les, Patrick Jannin invites viewers to embrace the strange, the hybrid, and the unconventional. Through his enigmatic masked figures, he challenges conventional notions of normality and beauty, encouraging empathy for what is different and celebrating identities that exist beyond established norms.

Featured artists :
1 - Tami Notsani
2 - Sophie Bramly
3 - Patrick Jannin
4 - Corinne Mariaud

One man spent 50 years hunting down the finest prints by a single Japanese artist. 😱 The result? Over 600 works by Hiroshige, some of which inspired Van Gogh himself. This extraordinary collection goes to auction at Christie's on September 15.

A sculpture that looks like it's about to topple over, a mural deemed too provocative for a courthouse, piranhas painted on a police box... Banksy strikes again in London! 🎨

But who foots the bill when street art shows up uninvited? Taxpayers. Nearly £150,000 has already been spent on security, cleanup, and admin to protect (or erase) his latest works.

Westminster still hasn't decided what to do with the Waterloo Place sculpture, now under its responsibility. The bill could keep climbing 📈

👉 So what do you think — should Banksy's work be protected at all costs, or should cities just remove unauthorized art? Let us know in the comments!

🎨 Gagosian is closing two landmark spaces: 28-29 Burlington Arcade in London and its Basel gallery on Rheinsprung 1!

16 shows in London, 17 in Basel — two spaces born from short-term leases that grew into must-see contemporary art destinations, now handed back for other projects (Fabergé may move into the London arcade as early as winter 2026 👀).

After Pace Gallery and David Zwirner, it's now Gagosian's turn to rethink its real estate footprint. Just a strategic reshuffle, or a sign of a bigger shift in the art market?

💬 What do you make of these closures across the mega-galleries? Let us know in the comments!

For 500 years, this throne was invisible. 👀 The oldest known altarpiece by Fra Angelico has just returned to its rightful place in the Fiesole church where it was painted... and its restoration revealed a hidden secret: an entire Gothic throne, painted over in 1501 and concealed for five centuries! Infrared reflectography brought it back to light. Pretty amazing, right?

At the heart of the Nantes vineyards, Domaine Alauda lets time do its work. With 18 months in oak barrels and 6 months in bottle, Grand Landet reveals a Muscadet that is "ample, mineral and vibrant."

Created to offer "a sensitive and contemporary reading of Muscadet," Domaine Alauda is guided by a simple conviction: "great wines are first and foremost the expression of a living place." Each cuvée seeks to express the identity of its terroir "without unnecessary stylistic effects," respecting the rhythm of the vine and allowing each parcel to speak with sincerity.

As Philippe Feitussi notes: "The link between art and wine comes naturally: the artist works with matter, light and movement; the winemaker composes with soil, time and the living. In both cases, the objective is to create a lasting emotion."

Au cœur du vignoble nantais, le Domaine Alauda laisse le temps faire son œuvre. Leur Grand Landet — dix-huit mois en barrique, six en bouteille — dévoile un Muscadet que l'on croyait connaître, ample, minéral, vibrant. Dix artistes lui répondent, par la pierre, la lumière et la matière.
