Artist Steven Harrington debuts his immersive installation with LG OLED at Frieze New York, featuring the OLED T transparent TV in a first-of-its-kind U.S. collaboration.
Known for his vibrant and immersive psychedelic pop art, Harrington joins forces with LG to demonstrate the strengths of OLED technology, including perfect blacks and vivid colors.* Harrington chose LG OLED as his digital canvas, citing the display's ability to faithfully capture his artistic vision through exceptional color reproduction and design innovation. Together, they have created a whimsical exhibition at Frieze, highlighting the unique qualities of both the artist's work and LG's technology.
Visitors to the exhibition will meet Mello, one of Harrington's signature characters who embodies the joy of everyday moments and creativity – brought to life on the advanced LG SIGNATURE OLED T transparent TV. Mello playfully waves to the audience against an opaque floral backdrop. As he invites the audience to come closer, the flowers fall away, revealing a transparent screen where they can step behind to take a picture with Mello. This dynamic transition between opaque and transparent screens offers a surreal, AR-like experience for exhibition-goers.
Set against a muted black and grey background, LG OLED screens amplify the brilliance of Harrington's vibrant imagery. The exhibition features the new LG OLED evo M5, G5 and StanbyME 2 TVs, each displaying Harrington's colorful works, with Mello seamlessly moving in and out of the screens. The M5 model highlights its wireless capabilities for a clutter-free setup, while the G5 boasts its exceptional self-lit technology for stunning visuals with deep blacks. The soon-to-be-launched StanbyME 2 is one of the most versatile and portable lifestyle TVs, adaptable for various settings – whether wall-mounted, propped up – or placed on a stand.
"This collaboration has completely expanded the way I think about making art," said Harrington. "Being the first artist in the U.S. to work with LG's transparent OLED TV gave me a chance to experiment in a whole new medium - where light, motion and color bring my characters to life in ways I've never seen before. It opened up a new dimension of vibrancy and storytelling that I'm excited to keep exploring."
"LG's OLED TV is the ultimate digital canvas, delivering rich blacks and maximizing depth and realism with precise color expression," said Kate Oh, vice president of experiential marketing at LG Electronics. "We are excited to collaborate with bold artists like Steven Harrington, whose unique style aligns perfectly with LG OLED's mission to inspire art and connect people through innovative digital experiences."
Visitors to Frieze New York 2025 can experience LG's latest OLED TVs and Harrington's artwork from May 7 to 11 at The Shed.
Recognized by artists worldwide as the ultimate digital canvas, LG OLED continues to merge cutting-edge technology with contemporary art through various cultural initiatives. The Frieze New York exhibition marks the first showcase of the SIGNATURE OLED T since its US launch last December. This premium display offers stunning visuals with unparalleled clarity and seamlessly integrates into any environment. Following Frieze, LG will partner with Italian design brand Kartell to display the SIGNATURE OLED T at Kartell's New York flagship store – building on their successful collaboration at CES 2025, where LG's transparent TV was paired with Kartell's iconic transparent furniture. Additionally, LG will work with Ayoung Kim, trailblazing digital artist and the third recipient of the LG Guggenheim Award, for an upcoming exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum.
