InterContinental's art cake 'Flower of Life'.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] The Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in Samseong-dong announced that it will present a special art cake called "Flower of Life," inspired by the works of Kim Byung-jong, a master of contemporary Korean art.

This art cake, introduced as part of the hotel's ongoing "True Luxury with Art" exhibition project, was specially created based on Kim Byung-jong's representative work "Song of Life," which focuses on nature and life, among the masterpieces displayed in the lobby.

The visual beauty and colors are expressed in the form of a flower using pomegranate jelly, and a new taste experience is offered by layering soft cream made from Jeju Hallabong and tangy raspberry confit between the cake sheets.

At the exhibition held in the hotel's first-floor lobby, visitors can appreciate masterpieces by masters such as Kim Byung-jong's "Song of Life," Kim Chang-yeol, and Kim Tae-ho. Additionally, the exhibition features 23 works by 14 artists, including preview pieces from the Start Art Fair Seoul 2022 by artists like Gian84, Mignon, and Gam Man-ji.

The art cake, sold at the Grand Deli on the hotel's first floor until the 30th of next month, is priced at 65,000 KRW (tax included), and the exhibition will run until the end of October.
