Art Token, an online non fungible token art trading platform, will join Art Dubai 2025, scheduled to take place Friday to Sunday.

The trading platform will introduce four Asian artists based in Seoul, Hong Kong and Tokyo to the digital section of the art fair.

Among the artists is Genesis Kai, a chiral twin and AI-infused alter ego created by Ming Shiu, who will show a meditative digital installation inspired by Korea’s traditional moon jar.

Painter Oh Ji-yoon, whose works feature layers of "hanji," or Korean traditional mulberry paper, pearl powder and gold, will present a monochromatic abstraction painting at the art fair.

Meanwhile, taking a cat as a metaphor for his paintings, Hiroyuki reinterprets Western masterpieces such as Vincent Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait with a Bandaged Ear and Pipe."

Painter Oh Soon-kyung reinterprets Korean traditional folk paintings, or "minhwa," into her own artistic practice in a contemporary way.

Art Dubai 2025, one of the leading art fairs in the Middle East since 2007, will be held at Madinat Jumeirah, showcasing works from 40 countries and 120 art galleries.
