Woosik Choi
Woosik Choi is a visual artist based in New York. His work explores the history of individuals, communication, and relationships based on drawing. Through his artistic practice, Woosik visualizes the world he faced in art forms with his own visual vocabulary by capturing not only the real-life situations and moments he experienced, but also the history of others.
He received his MFA in Fine Arts from School of Visual Arts, New York, 2022. Woosik has exhibited his work at venues including New Collectors gallery, SVA Chelsea gallery, Main Street Arts, Starta Arta and LIC-A. He was selected for “Honorable Mention” by Main Street Arts.
Woosik Choi’s artistic practice is exploring the relationship between the world he encountered and himself who is in it. Like interpreting and expressing the world a child faces in their own way, He visually translates the world he interpreted from his own perspective. The world he translated is visualized as warm sceneries, spaces, and stories in his work thus inducing inner peace though lyrical sentimentality.
Drawing is a key means of his practice. For him, drawing has a relatively free and flexible format compared to other art genres, and is a tool for tracking and instant visualizing the flow of unconscious images.
He attempts to expand his world into various forms with his own visual vocabulary, which is intimacy, symbolism, delicacy, and a dreamy atmosphere through drawing.
