‘Youth in Flower’ is a painting of daisy flowers, known to symbolize the artist himself. Spray paint and markers were used to create the artwork on the steel panel of the interiors of the 2017 Untitled (GD Cafe). G-Dragon worked on it while he was a brand ambassador for Jeju Shinhwa World in 2017.
The artwork reportedly had an auction starting price of 30 million won or over 22,000 USD.
G-Dragon is a well-known art collector and was named one of the ‘50 Notable Collectors’ by the American art magazine Art News in 2019.
