Arang Choi

Arang Choi’s pictures and objects induce you into magnificent surreal worlds in which dark and impalpable secrets to lurk.
In her paintings, drawings and ceramics, the artist is constantly developing new protagonists for her infinite dream stage. Mixed forms, somewhere between animal, human and fantasy, botanical creations, landscapes, architectural spaces and the indefinable meet in mystical fiction.
Some figures seem to only have a single appearance; others become recurring characters, but characters that change shape as they adapt to new scenarios.
This fluid physicality shows that emotional worlds play the central role, while appearance and style remain secondary.
The figures often appear unprotected, vulnerable, even skeptical of their own existence and can trigger an ambivalent relationship between empathy and strangeness.”
