South Korean artist Jade Kim‘s solo show Moments opened on May 16 at Allouche Gallery in NYC, in collaboration with League OTO. Inspired by his wife, Jade’s work featured Min, a character representing her hopes and dreams. Painted in various landscapes, Min’s bright, innocent eyes invited viewers to escape into a dreamy world, highlighting the fleeting nature of memory. Jade’s portraits focused on capturing an emotional essence rather than a realistic image. Min’s loving and protective presence, paired with a neutral expression, allowed viewers to imagine their own stories.
Min bridged the gap between reality and dreams, youth and adulthood. Jade explained that he chose this style to remind himself of what they had lost and needed to protect. Min represented a space in Jade’s mind where he explored themes of love, loss, and hope, capturing the complex nature of love, including sacrifice, longing, and the desire for a shared life.
Founded in 2016, League OTO aimed to make art collecting accessible to everyone. The organization inspired and educated a new generation of artists and art lovers, expanding the art market and challenging traditional structures. With over 100,000 members, League OTO supported the arts through promotions, non-profit events, and a strong social media presence.
