Description
Wook-Kyung Choi had an incomparable career as an abstractionist, faithfulling transforming her experience of the world into energetic brushstrokes and bright colors while resisting clear categorization into any of the emerging artistic movements of the time. While many abstract Korean artists were interested in engaging with the trauma of the Korean War (Art Informel), the theoretical frame of the autonomy of art (Greenbergian), or a return to tradition (Dansaekhwa), Choi had a distinctive self-serving practice of painting and collage. Choi’s paintings were informed by the sense of dislocation and loss she felt in her life, and her encounters with racism, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, and new discussions of gender and sex in America. The dynamic nature of her paintings and collage works reflect this conflict - sometimes meditative and melancholy, other times furious and full of anguish.
