			Choi Woolga
WHITE BLACK RED +
Gana Art is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of Choi Woolga (b.1956-) who applies geometric symbols and shapes in his distinctive images. His artistic discourse focused on primitive and transcendental world rather than realistic representations of objects. Recently working across diverse media including painting and sculpture, Choi presents his mature artistic language, having continued to develop playful expressions based on graffiti and primitivism in his use of colors. With his new works from a series of White, Black, and Red, as well as that of Color Point beginning from last year, Choi applies refined colors and compositions compared to his previous paintings. Furthermore, the exhibition highlights his inventive series of “Beetle” and Ceramic-sculpture. These works imply Choi’s concentration and process in not only painting but “crafting” as he seeks for diverse expressions that show his unique formative elements. The exhibition, WHITE BLACK RED +, reflects Choi Woolga’s unseen experiments and struggles behind such instinctive visuality. It will offer unlimited insights on artmaking and invite the visitors to a reminiscent journey that reminds our childhood play.
