In June 2024, artist JonOne visited Ulsan as a representative of the participating artists for the opening of the special exhibition “From Bangucheon to Urban Art” at the Ulsan Museum of Art. The exhibition, held from June 27 to October 27, brought together eight internationally renowned urban artists including JonOne, Shepard Fairey, and Vhils under the theme of reinterpreting the ancient Bangucheon Petroglyphs in a contemporary urban context.

To mark the opening, JonOne performed a live graffiti session, spontaneously painting the exterior of a Hyundai car on site. He also created new artworks during the event, showcasing his signature dynamic and abstract graffiti style, which added vibrant energy to Ulsan’s urban landscape and helped bridge the gap between art and everyday life.

Attracting over 40,000 visitors over its four-month run, the exhibition was widely praised for bringing urban art into public spaces. JonOne’s performance and mural work received particular attention for transforming the museum experience into an immersive encounter with street art. His participation played a significant role in reinforcing Ulsan’s cultural identity, inspired by the Bangudae Petroglyphs, and supported the city’s ambition to emerge as a global hub for urban art.
