[Interview] Whanki Museum X The Frame Art Store – A Partnership That Brings Us Into the Artistic World of Abstract Master KIM Whanki


Recommended Posts

Posted

Samsung’s The Frame Art Store not only offers customization to fit any home décor and stunning QLED picture quality, but also transforms the user’s display into a window to the world. In October, the Art Store is introducing its partnership with Whanki Museum and the collection of world-renowned artist Kim Whanki.

 

As a pioneer of Korean abstract painting, Kim Whanki created his unique and characteristic art with refined, formative expression that is based on Korean lyricism. He was recognized for his artworks in centers for modern art that include Paris and New York.

 

Samsung Electronics has been partnering with Whanki Museum since 2018 to introduce a range of Kim Whanki’s artworks to global customers and provide easier access to Korean modern art.

 

Samsung Newsroom reached out to Whanki Museum curator Min-A Sung to talk about how art can serve as a medium for both communication and empathy.

 

 

Fostering Artistic Energy and ‘Art For All’

Whanki Museum, established in 1992, creates a variety of artistic and cultural content through the research, exhibition and publication of the work of contemporary artists. The museum also provides educational programs and seeks to embody the philosophy of ‘Art for All’ by running a range of programs that expose disadvantaged groups to art and culture. “Whanki Museum will become an open venue for facilitating communication and building empathy based on artistic energy,” says the museum representative. “The partnership with The Frame Art Store provides increased opportunities for us to share our culture and art.”

How Samsung Communicates With Global Consumers Through The Frame Art Store

The museum representative also mentions that the ways people consume art are changing. “Art now influences our day-to-day lives,” they say. “In order to keep up with these shifts, we need to introduce new ways for people to experience art, and try to partner with experts to combine art and IT technology.”

The representative adds that they have high hopes for the collaboration between the museum and Samsung. “Vivid color and contrast, which deliver a refined sense of rhythm, are key aspects of Kim’s artistic style,” they say. “The Frame’s QLED 4K display is the perfect medium for his work to be showcased to viewers around the world.”

 

With Quantum Dot technology that allows more than a billion colors to be displayed at 100% color volume, The Frame allows artistic intent to come through vividly on a bright screen with accurate color reproduction.

 

 

Master KIM Whanki’s Artistic Vision Realized on The Frame

Whanki Museum has introduced ten of Kim’s major works to The Frame Art Store since 2018. This has allowed users to enjoy major works such as Deer and Eternity Song, as well as a variety of pieces that were not easily accessible to the public before.

In addition to displaying Kim’s artworks, The Frame Art Store also provides background information on the pieces. “The curatorial department has created descriptions for each artwork to provide resources that deliver a range of perspectives and introduce Kim’s artistic vision to more people,” relates the representative. “We hope the detailed explanations provided by Whanki Museum will help users experience the pieces in vivid and stunning quality, just as though they were viewing them in a gallery.”

 

The Frame Art Store offers a comprehensive, ever-expanding collection of artworks to satisfy customers’ needs and match any environment or atmosphere. Its catalog now includes around 1,500 artworks from a range of periods and styles that were sourced from 40 famous museums and galleries and are displayed in exceptional 4K resolution.

      “Space and art, as well as artworks and their built surroundings, are inexorably related to each other.”
      – Karim Noureldin, contemporary artist
      Can a work of visual art be experienced as sound? For Karim Noureldin, it can. The Swiss artist creates abstract works that guide the eye across the composition like rhythm in music, revealing new details the longer they are viewed. Noureldin describes this as “a visual sound,” an idea rooted in drawing and reflected across works shaped by line, color, surface and space.
      Noureldin’s “Brea” (2025) will be presented to view digitally as part of the new Art Basel in Basel 2026 Collection. Available exclusively on Samsung Art Store, the collection presents 24 works by Swiss and Switzerland-based artists represented by eight galleries participating in the fair. “Brea” was chosen for its distinct color palette and use of bold pattern, both central to Noureldin’s broader practice. Samsung Newsroom spoke with Noureldin about drawing, abstraction and what changes when art is experienced at home.

      The Sensory Language of “Brea”
      ▲ “Brea” (2025) reflects Noureldin’s interest in line, color and rhythm, creating what he describes as “a visual sound.” Photo by Finn Curry, courtesy of the artist and von Bartha.
      Q. “Brea” (2025) is part of the Art Basel in Basel 2026 Collection on Samsung Art Store. What can you share about the process behind this work?
      “Brea” began with the process of drawing as a way to build an imagined space. I created it with pencil because drawing allows me to think, plan, imagine and picture at the same time. I have worked with pencil for a long time and I still see it as one of the most direct ways to begin an idea. The movement of drawing also feels close to writing words by hand.
      Working on paper allows me to see a space that is not fully physical yet. I find it easier to create a three-dimensional world in this format than by painting on canvas. This is why drawing has remained so important to me. Its energy has been with me since early in my work as an artist and it is present in “Brea.”
      ▲ Noureldin works with colored pencil to build spatial density with repeated lines and shifts in color. Photo by Ariel Huber, courtesy of the artist and von Bartha.
      Q. How do line, surface and structure work together in “Brea”?
      In “Brea,” line, structure and surface are not separate elements. They build on each other. The lines create movement, the surfaces create depth and the structure holds these parts together. Through this relationship, the work can begin to feel like a space the viewer enters through their own perception. The author George Stolz has described “Brea” as creating a kind of spatiality through the way its surfaces come together. I think that is close to how I see the work.

      Defining a Spatial Language
      Q. How has your approach to making art stayed the same over time?
      My approach has stayed the same through a steady commitment to the work. I studied fine arts, later served as an associate professor at ECAL/University of Arts and Design Lausanne and have tutored younger Swiss artists. Those experiences shaped how I think about art, but they did not change the reason I make it. I still approach each work with the same motivation and focus I had early on. Being able to make art is something I always dreamed of doing and I continue to do it with dedication and gratitude.
      ▲ Noureldin’s works speak to each other through line, surface and scale. Photo by Finn Curry, courtesy of the artist and von Bartha.
      Q. What connects the different forms you work in?
      No matter the form, my work applies the same abstract language and creative process to different media. I often think of each medium as a different instrument. The sound changes, but the composition comes from the same place. The works can appear at a small or large scale, within a specific site or as independent pieces. What connects them is the same attention to line, color, rhythm and space.

      Q. What does abstraction allow you to do?
      Abstraction allows for timelessness and universality. It’s not fixed to one subject or moment. It can remain open, so each viewer can meet the work through their own perception.
      “Being able to make art is something I always dreamed of doing and I continue to do it with dedication and gratitude.”

      Q. How do you think about the relationship between an artwork and the place where it is seen?
      Space and art, as well as artworks and their built surroundings, are inexorably related to each other. Whether a work was created for a specific site, placed within one or simply viewed there, each condition shapes what the work can express and do.

      How Art Forms Unity Within a Home
      “When we have art in our homes, it becomes part of one’s daily life.”

      Q. What feels meaningful to you about viewers encountering your work at home through Samsung Art TV?
      Living with art brings art back to a private and personal space. With Samsung Art TVs, the work moves from the artist’s studio into a home, where it can be experienced daily rather than only during a visit to an institution. It helps keep visual creativity top of mind for everyone, even if they aren’t an artist.

      Q. When an artwork becomes part of the home, what can repeated viewing reveal that might not be noticed at first?
      When we have art in our homes, it becomes part of one’s daily life and changes with the conditions around it. Different times of day, different lighting shifts or even moods changing each time a piece is viewed. These small details can change the appearance of a work over time, making it a unified element of the home.

      Q. Samsung Art Store will introduce your work to some viewers who may not know your practice yet. What would you hope they notice first in “Brea”?
      I would hope they first notice “Brea” as a visual sound. By that, I mean a composition that can be felt through rhythm and movement much like music can be felt without words. Before trying to define it, I hope they spend time with every element of its structure to understand how it can speak to more than one sense.
      Samsung Art Store is an art subscription service available on Samsung Art TVs including The Frame, Micro RGB and Neo QLED, offering more than 5,000 works in 4K resolution from more than 800 partners across 117 countries. As Art Basel’s official display partner, Samsung Electronics offers another way to experience contemporary art beyond the fair through exclusive Samsung Art Store digital collections featuring artists from Art Basel’s Hong Kong, Basel, Paris and Miami Beach editions.
      To experience “Brea” and the rest of the Art Basel in Basel 2026 Collection, visit a Samsung Art Store on your compatible Samsung TV today.

      “Instead of formulating thoughts through words, I compose with layered colors.”
      – Athene Galiciadis, contemporary artist
      Athene Galiciadis’ work draws its force from the movement of repeated forms. Across paintings, sculptures and installations, the Zurich-based artist uses grids, curves and blocks of color to build a formal language shaped by pattern, material experimentation and references spanning concrete art, design, craft, science and literature.
      ▲ Athene Galiciadis is a Zurich-based artist featured in the new Art Basel in Basel digital collection on Samsung Art Store. Photo courtesy of the artist. Galiciadis’ “Stillleben (Reflection on Longings and Belongings)” and “Stillleben (Window)” have been selected for the Art Basel in Basel (ABB) 2026 Collection on Samsung Art Store. The works were chosen for their strong use of color and pattern, qualities that translate naturally to the digital viewing experience on Samsung Art Store. Created in partnership with Art Basel, the digital collection features works by Switzerland-based artists from participating galleries and brings contemporary art from the fair to Samsung Art Store subscribers worldwide. Samsung Newsroom spoke with Galiciadis about form, color, the ideas behind the selected works and how digital presentation can bring art into the home.

      A Personal Language Through Patterns
      Q. Your work has a distinct language of shapes, colors and materials. How did this visual system develop?
      I began developing this visual language while studying Fine Arts at ECAL(École cantonale d’art de Lausanne) in Lausanne. At the time, many artists in the Lausanne art scene were working with Neo-Geo aesthetics. I admired the rigor of that language, but I never fully connected with its precision. Rather than adopting it directly, I tried to translate it into something that felt closer to me.
      ▲ No two hand-painted patterns are exactly the same, with small variations giving Galiciadis’ geometric forms a sense of movement. Photo by Malle Madsen, courtesy of von Bartha Copenhagen. I started working with geometric forms, patterns, repetition and symmetry, but I deliberately embraced the handmade. Every shape was drawn or painted by hand, making it unique and slightly different from the one beside it. The patterns shifted subtly across the surface, not through a predetermined system, but through the small variations that naturally arise from manual repetition.

      Q. How do you think about rhythm, variation and change within a composition?
      Repetition has always been central to my practice, but I have never been interested in repetition as exact duplication. Because my forms are drawn and painted by hand, no element is ever completely identical to another. A line becomes slightly thicker, a shape shifts, a color changes in intensity. These differences accumulate and create a sense of movement across the surface.
      I often think of repetition in terms of rhythm rather than pattern. A pattern suggests a fixed system, whereas rhythm allows for fluctuation, pauses, accelerations and unexpected turns. In that sense, my compositions are perhaps closer to biology than to geometry. They are structured, but never entirely predictable. They repeat, but never in exactly the same way. Over time, this visual language has become more than a tool. I see it as a placeholder for “in-betweenness,” a way to hold ambiguity, transition and multiple meanings at once.
      ▲ (From left) Galiciadis stands beside her ceramic works, the installation shows how repeated forms create rhythm and movement across the space. Photo by Malle Madsen, courtesy of von Bartha Copenhagen.
      Q. How much of a work is planned before you begin and how much is decided through the act of making it?
      I usually begin with a very clear image in my mind. I think visually, so many works start as an almost complete mental picture rather than a concept expressed in words. What fascinates me is that the finished work never looks exactly like that initial image. The image has to pass through materials, gestures, scale, time and the realities of the studio. In that translation, things inevitably shift.
      I do not see these deviations as mistakes or compromises. On the contrary, they are often where the work becomes most interesting. While the starting point is often highly defined, the final work is always shaped through the act of making. It is a conversation between intention and discovery, between what I envisioned and what the work itself asks for along the way.
      ▲ Galiciadis often lets her works shift through material, scale and space during the creative process. Photo by Stefan Altenburger, courtesy of Museum Haus Konstruktiv.
      Q. Are there certain materials, colors or forms you find yourself returning to over time? If so, what keeps drawing you back to them?
      Yes, there are certain forms, colors and motifs that keep returning: snakes, spirals, pinks, triangles, zigzags and many others. I do not consciously decide to revisit them; rather, they seem to reappear on their own, as if they still have something to teach me.
      I often think of artistic research as a spiral rather than a linear progression. You engage with something, move away from it, explore other directions and then return to it later. But when you come back, neither you nor the motif is quite the same. Perhaps this is why I am drawn to recurring forms. They become companions in a long-term conversation. Each time they reappear, they carry traces of previous works while opening up new questions and possibilities.

      The Meaning of “Stillleben”
      “The same structures that provide comfort and a sense of home can also become mechanisms of separation and exclusion.”

      Q. Your palette often moves between soft pinks, greens and yellows, with darker blues and blacks adding contrast. How do you think about color as a way to shape tension, depth or atmosphere?
      For me, color is something deeply personal. I do not approach it primarily as a decorative element or as a way of illustrating an idea. Rather, color is a way of thinking and a form of artistic research.
      In many ways, this process replaces language. Instead of formulating thoughts through words, I compose with layered colors. Through this slow accumulation, I search for nuances, tensions and relationships that are difficult for me to articulate verbally. The depth that emerges is not only visual but also emotional and conceptual.

      Q. What can you share about the works selected for the Art Basel in Basel 2026 Collection on Samsung Art Store and the moment in which they were made?
      This work emerged within a larger constellation of paintings that I was developing simultaneously in the studio. I rarely work on a single canvas at a time. Instead, several works evolve alongside one another, creating a kind of conversation. What appears on one canvas often migrates to another; a color, form, rhythm or idea that begins in one painting may find a different articulation in the next.
      ▲ From left. “Stillleben (Window)” (2023) by Athene Galiciadis. Photo by Malle Madsen.
       “Stillleben (Reflection on Longings and Belongings)” (2021) by Athene Galiciadis. Photo by Andreas Zimmermann. Both works were created within such a process. They carry traces of multiple explorations and conversations taking place across different canvases at the same time. Looking back, I see each work as part of an ongoing reflection on questions that continue to occupy me: belonging, displacement, memory, inheritance and transformation. Rather than offering answers, the painting became a space where these themes could coexist and interact.

      Q. How did the title “Stillleben (Reflection on Longings and Belongings)” come to the work and what does it add to the viewer’s understanding of the piece?
      The title emerged from two conditions that often feel inseparable. Questions of migration, displacement, in-betweenness, transformation, inheritance and identity run throughout my practice and shape how I understand the world. What does it mean to belong? Who is included and who remains outside? Belonging can offer shelter, care and nourishment, but it can also produce boundaries and exclusions.
      Longing is particularly difficult to describe. For me, it is often connected to a desire to bridge a gap that is always present but was never entirely my own. It can be inherited across generations, carried through stories, silences, memories and cultural interruptions. It is a longing for connection, continuity and understanding, while knowing that some distances can never be fully overcome.
      The same structures that provide comfort and a sense of home can also become mechanisms of separation and exclusion. For me, “Stillleben (Reflection on Longings and Belongings)”inhabits this space of contradiction. It reflects on the simultaneous desire to belong and the awareness that belonging is never simple, fixed or innocent.

      Where Art Finds New Meaning at Home
      Q. Samsung Art Store gives people a way to encounter world-class art in the spaces where they live. What interests you about that everyday relationship with artwork?
      What interests me most is the possibility of creating an everyday relationship with art. Some of the most meaningful encounters with artworks happen not in museums, but in the spaces where we live and spend our time. When you encounter an artwork repeatedly, it becomes part of your daily life and the relationship deepens over time to become a piece of your memories and personal history.
      This resonates with my interest in collaboration, participation and community building. I enjoy forms of access that allow art to enter everyday environments. Through projects such as Actioning, I have explored how meaning emerges through shared experiences and sustained engagement. I see art as something that can create connections and become part of a shared cultural life.

      Q. How do you think the experience of viewing art changes when a work becomes part of a home environment?
      I think the experience becomes slower and more intimate. In a museum, we often encounter artworks briefly and alongside many others. At home, the relationship unfolds over time and the artwork becomes part of everyday life.
      You might notice it while drinking your morning coffee, passing through a room or returning home after a difficult day. Sometimes you look closely; other times it simply exists in the background. Yet it continues to shape the atmosphere of a space.
      ▲ “Stillleben (Reflection on Longings and Belongings)” (2021) by Athene Galiciadis is displayed on the 2026 OLED TV S95H. The work becomes an ongoing relationship. Meanings can shift over time and details that initially went unnoticed may suddenly become important. As the viewer changes, the work changes too. This reflects how I understand art: not as a fixed message, but as something open that continues to generate new associations.
      “Some of the most meaningful encounters with artworks happen not in museums, but in the spaces where we live and spend our time.”

      Q. For viewers who may discover your work for the first time through Samsung Art Store, what would you hope they take time to notice?
      I would invite them to spend a little time with the work and allow their eyes to wander. At first glance, my paintings may appear structured, repetitive or geometric. But if you stay with them for a while, small shifts, irregularities and transformations begin to emerge.
      I hope viewers notice that nothing is ever entirely fixed. Forms repeat, but they also change. Colors overlap, reveal and conceal one another. What may initially seem stable gradually becomes more fluid and complex.
      Perhaps most of all, I hope people allow themselves to experience the work without feeling the need to immediately understand or interpret it. Much of my practice is concerned with things that exist between categories: between belonging and displacement, order and unpredictability, memory and imagination. These are experiences that cannot always be translated into words.
      If viewers take the time to notice the rhythms, layers and subtle variations within the work, they may discover that the painting is less about providing answers than about creating space for reflection, curiosity and personal associations. I hope everyone can find their own point of entry and build their own relationship with the work over time.

      Samsung Electronics today announced the global launch of The Frame (HL03H model) at HITEC 2026, the largest and longest-running international hospitality technology event, held from June 15-18 at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. Designed for hotels and premium commercial spaces, the new model brings the world’s first Art TV to Samsung’s hospitality TV lineup. It serves as both a premium display and a design feature, adding artwork, entertainment and connected hotel services to guest rooms and shared spaces.
      “With The Frame for hotels, Samsung is bringing one of its most distinctive TV experiences to hospitality businesses,” said Hyoung Jae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to invest in hospitality display solutions that help brands deliver premium service, strengthen their brand identity and prepare for the next phase of connected guest experiences.”

      A Hospitality Display Designed for Premium Spaces
      With this hospitality model, Samsung brings the award-winning design and functionality of The Frame to hotels and corporate environments. The display combines 4K QLED picture quality with a refined form that fits naturally into premium interiors. Its Anti Glare panel reduces unwanted reflections, while the Slim Fit Wall Mount allows the TV to sit close to the wall for a clean, gallery-like installation. The Frame eliminates the need for a separate One Connect Box by integrating key connection components into the display, supporting simpler installation in hospitality spaces. Optional magnetic bezels allow hotel operators to customize the frame to match the mood and design of each space, as well.1
      Collection Hub gives The Frame its distinct value as an Art TV for hospitality environments, allowing hotel operators to display selected artwork, photography or brand visuals when the TV is not in active use. Generative Wallpaper lets guests create AI-generated backgrounds for the screen, adding a customized touch to their room experience. Together, these features help each display become part of the room’s design, whether presenting hotel-curated visuals or AI-generated imagery selected by guests.
      As Samsung’s most premium hospitality TV offering, The Frame for hotels is the first model in Samsung’s hotel TV lineup to support Generative Wallpaper and Live Translate. Live Translate helps international travelers comfortably watch local broadcasts or Samsung TV Plus with subtitles in their preferred language. The result is more accessible local content for users traveling overseas.2
      Beginning with Samsung’s 2025 hotel TV lineup and extending to the HL03H model, Google Cast and Apple AirPlay support allows guests to share content from a smartphone or tablet to the in-room TV by scanning an on-screen QR code. No separate login is required and device connection information is automatically deleted upon checkout to help protect guest privacy.3

      Managing Hospitality Features From One Platform
      LYNK Cloud, Samsung’s comprehensive hospitality cloud solution, helps hotel teams monitor TV status in real time, update on-screen services and distribute guest-facing content across connected displays from a central platform.4
      With the support of LYNK Cloud, guests can access digital concierge features, book hotel services and order room service through the in-room TV. This gives hotels another way to connect guests with property services directly from the display.
      LYNK Cloud also includes Business Intelligence, a feature that helps hotel teams understand how guests use in-room TV services, including frequently ordered menu items or popular TV channels. These insights can support more relevant offerings and help identify new revenue opportunities.
      Furthermore, LYNK Cloud supports Collection Hub management on hospitality model of The Frame. With it, hotel teams can distribute selected art content across connected devices simultaneously. They can adjust brightness and color tone based on indoor lighting conditions, as well, helping each display fit the hotel’s brand concept and room environment.
      Samsung will showcase The Frame for hotels at booth 2442 during HITEC 2026. The new model will be available in 43-, 55-, 65- and 75-inch sizes, with global rollout beginning in the second half of 2026.5

      Samsung Electronics, global display leader and provider of the Official Art TV of Art Basel, today announced the launch of the Art Basel in Basel (ABB) 2026 Collection, a curated digital exhibition available exclusively on Samsung Art Store. The collection brings together 24 works by Swiss and Switzerland-based artists from eight renowned galleries exhibiting at Art Basel in Basel 2026, held from June 18-21 in Switzerland.
      “Basel has a distinct place in the art world, and this collection reflects the creative range that makes the fair so meaningful,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through our longstanding partnership with Art Basel, we are helping customers turn their screens into a personal space for discovering, displaying and living with art.”
      Reflecting the range of artistic voices across the Swiss art scene, the ABB 2026 Collection will be available on Samsung Art Store starting today. The digital collection is a continuation of Samsung and Art Basel’s global partnership and brings select works from Art Basel fairs to Samsung Art TV users around the world.

      A Closer Look at the ABB 2026 Collection
      The ABB 2026 Collection offers a regional view of Art Basel in Basel through established names and rising talent from eight galleries. Participating galleries include Mai 36, von Bartha, Skopia and Blue Velvet from Switzerland, along with Fanta MLN, Hoffmann Donahue, Lars Friedrich, Sans titre and Felix Gaudlitz.
      At its core, the collection highlights three Swiss-born artists spanning multiple generations of contemporary practice:
      Thomas Huber’s “16.7.2024” reflects his distinctive approach to painting, where image and text converge to explore picture space as both a visual and philosophical construction.
      Tobias Kaspar’s “The Japan Collection” examines systems of value, taste and desire through a multidisciplinary practice that bridges art and fashion.
      Athene Galiciadis’s “Stillleben (Reflection on longings and belongings)” presents a richly layered visual language, combining geometric and organic forms with references to craft, design, science and spirituality.
      “Basel is a city where art is experienced with great depth and attention, and I am pleased that this spirit is reflected in the Samsung Art Store’s ABB 2026 Collection,” said Maike Cruse, Director of Art Basel in Basel. “Together with Samsung, we highlight artists based in Switzerland. The collection reflects the richness, diversity and vitality of the region while reinforcing our commitment to connecting regional scenes with a global audience.”

      Bringing Samsung Art Store to Life at Art Basel
      At this year’s Art Basel in Basel, visitors can experience Samsung Art Store through an immersive installation that shows how art can move beyond the gallery and into everyday spaces. The experience will feature a gallery-style Art Wall composed of displays from Samsung’s 2026 Art TV lineup, including Micro RGB, OLED, The Frame Pro and The Frame. The Art Wall will showcase selected works based on attendees’ visual preferences and offer a preview of the ABB 2026 Collection, highlighting how Samsung display technology can make art feel more personal in the home.
      Samsung’s Art Basel exhibit will also feature a collaboration with visual artist Daniel Arsham, Samsung’s new Art TV ambassador. Designed for The Frame Pro, Arsham’s custom bezel turns the TV frame into a sculptural surface, with a three-dimensional pattern inspired by topographical mapping data. It is paired with on-screen artwork inspired by erosion patterns and crystalline forms, extending the work into the surrounding space and reflecting Arsham’s exploration of time, material and everyday objects.
