Running until June, this exhibition is organized by the art education institution "Eight Institute" and is designed to provide customers, who have increased offline shopping with the endemic, a unique experience of enjoying artworks while shopping. The exhibition carefully selected 19 painting works and art toys by 16 artists whose works harmonize well with the diverse brands introduced by Raum and match the sophisticated atmosphere of Raum's space.

Visitors can see works by Park Seo-bo, a master painter who collaborated with the luxury brand Louis Vuitton for the first time in Korea, Lee Bae, who worked with Saint Laurent, and other artists actively collaborating in the fashion field. The exhibition also features works by KAWS, the American pop artist known as the Andy Warhol of the 21st century. Additionally, large-scale works by artists gaining popularity in recent trends such as Edgar Plans, famous for his vivid primary colors and graffiti, Lee Gun-yong, Shim Moon-seop, Jeon Gwang-young, Lee Ufan, Yoshitomo Nara, Mel Bochner, Lee Soo-kyung, Philip Colbert, Kang Ik-jung, and Lee Kang-so are on display. The artworks can be viewed on all floors of Raum East (1st to 3rd floors) and Raum West (1st to 2nd floors).

All artworks exhibited during the event are available for purchase, and in mid-June, a docent program will be held where Park Hye-kyung, CEO of Eight Institute and Korea's first art auctioneer, will provide direct explanations about the artworks.

An LF representative said, "As more people enjoy art, exhibitions utilizing shopping spaces are increasing, unlike in the past when paintings were sold only through traditional galleries and other sales channels. This is a great opportunity to appreciate the original works of artists who are gaining global popularity recently, and customers interested in fashion and premium lifestyle can enjoy various cultures in one place."
