Kimu Studio revealed the ‘Diversity Illustration Project’ held with Samsung Electronics.
This project includes the value of diversity and inclusion by presenting Kimu Studio’s special designer works on Samsung Electronics TV, refrigerator and smartphone art platforms so that consumers can participate in value consumption and diffusion.
If you use ‘Samsung Art Store’, which can be subscribed to in ‘The Frame’, a lifestyle TV from Samsung Electronics, when you turn off the TV screen, the usual black screen does not appear, but the artwork installed by the user is displayed.
Up to 9 new works that show more artistic and new sensibilities by diversifying expression methods such as patterns, landscapes, and objects, including Kimu’s representative work ‘Because You Are’, which deals with refugee youth, ‘Cactus a Tiger’ and ‘Venice’ A total of 10 works will be presented.
You can see Kimu Studio’s works on Samsung Electronics smartphones and refrigerators. ‘Galaxy Theme’ is a service solution that customizes the GUI design of Galaxy smartphones, and presents 10 trendy designs from KIMU Studio’s animal illustrations to year-end and Christmas themes.
In particular, the character ‘Lovett’ introduced in the Galaxy theme to celebrate the year of the rabbit in 2023 contains a message that differences in disability can be special. The Bespoke Atelier, an exhibition service that exclusively provides art content for Family Hub fridges, will also present five artworks that capture everyday scenes captured by a special designer based on the theme of momentary scenes. With the docent function, you can listen to the audio commentary of the work.
Nam Jang-won, CEO of Kimu Studio, said, “This is the second project with Samsung Electronics following the eco-pack upcycling project with Samsung Electronics Lifestyle TV. It is meaningful, and I hope many users will enjoy the value of diversity and inclusion through the work of people with developmental disabilities.”
