The '2026 JIAF Jeju International Art Fair' will take place from October 8 to 11 at the Jeju International Convention Center (ICC JEJU Hall 2) on Jeju Jungmun-ro.

This art fair, described as a venue for experiencing today and tomorrow of contemporary art, is an international art event where prominent domestic galleries, artists, and collectors gather in one place.

JIAF does not remain limited to static exhibitions where viewers simply appreciate finished works with their eyes. It offers opportunities to experience artworks through various senses and to acquire them directly. Furthermore, it aims to be a festival that lowers the threshold for purchasing art, allowing anyone to naturally step into the world of art.

One of the artists recommended for special attention at this exhibition is artist Park Kyung-ah. She has been receiving significant interest from art enthusiasts by building her own pictorial language and narratives.

At the 2026 Jeju Art Fair, Artist Park will present the 'Late Afternoon' series in collaboration with Lotus Gallery. The 'Late Afternoon' series focuses on landscapes after people have left. Through everyday objects such as empty chairs and tables, wine left unfinished, and carelessly placed fruits and plants, it paradoxically reveals traces and memories of someone who is not present in the scene.

A subtle loneliness lingering within brilliant and fresh colors, along with the artist's gaze toward 'things that become clear only after departure,' permeates her entire body of work.

Through 'Late Afternoon,' Artist Park expands an ordinary moment from daily life into a psychological landscape where traces of time, memory, and relationships remain, rather than treating it as a simple still life.
