Eunjeong Choi’s Cascading Colors Create Cityscapes

Eunjeong Choi’s wild, illusionary oil paintings create cityscapes with kaleidoscopic forms. In a manner that can be likened to Maya Hayuk and Jen Stark, Choi creates both neat and muddied reflections on color, cascading in two and three dimensions. The painter-installation artist is currently based in Seoul, South Korea.

She recently contributed to the Sehwa Museum of Art exhibition “Phantom City.” As the display was “designed to offer the opportunity to observe the illusions of the light and colors and life of reality beyond the view us living in modern cities paradoxically,” Choi’s work was more than appropriate for the exhibition.

Using transparent cloths clad to the canvas, painter Pavel Gempler creates a "second skin, through which the lower pictorial layers shine through and create an irritating doubling," the artist says.
