Choi Ji-won, 2023, 'A Co-worker', 53x45.5cm, pigment on paper

→Introduction of the author

Jiwon Choi (b. 1991) is a visual artist who tells stories through drawing, painting, and interdisciplinary arts. His work uses the motif of 'instant impression' and explores painting in a more sensuous way. Through painting, I seek out areas of sensory experience that are difficult to define and are difficult to define, and place importance on the inner center. The artist begins by facing a white canvas with the question, ‘What color will the painting have?’ The seeds of curiosity take root through selected colors, shapes, and endless imagination. The author spends a lot of time building an internal environment where he can focus solely on himself and his explorations, and the imaginative attitude under this balance becomes the author's unique joy and essence.

→Introduction of work

The work 'A Co-worker' is painted with mixed pigments on paper. The image the author felt while being with his colleagues became the motif. This is a work that stands out for its expressive characteristics, where instantaneous touches and vivid colors come into contact with the texture of hanji (Korean paper).
