Namu Choi ナム・チョイ 최나무
Korean b.1978
Namu Choi (Korean b.1978) depicts the psychological landscape of people who react to changes in their surrounding environment, such as nature or where they live. Natural objects such as plants, earth, fire, and water are used to create images of her daily feelings of isolation, anxiety, longing for the unknown, and a strong positiveness, using unique primary colors and a delicate yet dynamic screen.
She creates a multilayered psychological screen by adding complimentary colors and heterogeneous colors to light fluorescent colors.
From my experience majoring in printmaking in graduate school, she creates depth in space by using primary colors overlapping rather than mixing colors. Please enjoy Choi Namu's mental landscape, which unfolds through multi-layered expressions such as the materiality created when pigments overlap and spread, the contrast of conflicting colors and transparency.
Graduated from Seoul National University College of Fine Arts, Department of Western Painting (2001), and majored in Western Painting and Printmaking, Seoul National University Graduate School of Fine Arts (2004). Participated in 20 solo exhibitions (as of June 2024) and numerous group exhibitions both domestically and internationally in Korea. Selected of Songeun Art Award (2007), a gateway to emerging Korean artists.
