GROUP EXHIBITION

BAKBAK! NANA! JJAJJA! presents 5 Korean artists of the 90’s generation whose works are inspired by social and cultural trends from their youth. The title incorporates modern Korean slang, translating to expressions of ‘success,’ ‘emphasis,’ and ‘assurance.’ Drawing from popular media including cartoons, collectible toys, street art, graphic art, textiles, and fashion, these artists cross boundaries both geographic and stylistic. Their work is visually appealing and emotionally accessible, reflecting the emerging cultural sensibility of the later Millennials.

To connect with a broader public, these artists have collaborated with lifestyle brands such as Nike and Perrier, as well as experiential entertainment producers such as HYBE Insight and SM Entertainment. Some have worked with K-POP artists such as Buwon Seo with Code Kunst (코드쿤스트) and G-Dragon (지드래곤), Jinwoo Kim with BTS, and MAWZ with aespa.

This exhibition is a collaboration between BAIK ART and Gallery STAN, and supported by Museum of Toys, The Collectors Lounge, and Four Pillars Gin.
