Younghee Choi Martin

b. 1954 , Seoul , Korea

Through a massive play of shape and color, Younghee’s highly worked surfaces address both the density and the fresh, lyric expressiveness of the ancient dramas to reveal a contemporary vision. There is a reductive, modernist integration of the figurative and landscape elements in these works. Through the continual development of the paint, the surface, the composition, and the texture, the narrative is never lost. It breathes through the layers to slowly release a pictorial structure and a lyric dimension.
