From 29 February to 7 April at Plain Gallery in Italy,
visual artist Choi Momin participates in a group exhibition. Choi obtained a BA
and MA from the Department of Fine Arts, School of Visual Arts, in K-Arts, and completed
coursework for an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art.
Choi Momin has drawn the scenes of everyday life easily
seen around him. In his paintings, the characters who repeat meaningless actions
are put to complete the landscape. By doing so, the daily scenes turn into stages
jarring from reality, and the incidents in his artworks appear to stand out.
The characters subtly deviating from Choi’s paintings of landscapes is a
metaphor for the reality Choi has experienced as a creator and young man living
in the present time.
Choi Momin’s paintings of daily life depict the individual’s incongruous life with reality. Like unpredictable errors, the ways characters in Choi’s paintings make a rupture in daily scenes arouse inexplicable anxiety.
The exhibition “Self” is made up of artworks by Choi
Momin, Hesi Glowacki, Megan Menzies, and Mengxi Zhang.
