About Choe Gyeongseon

Choi Kyungsun has consistently depicted the vitality, sorrow, and healing of life on canvas, drawing from nature as her primary subject. Her new works, including recent pieces premiering in her current exhibition, express the 'swim of the mind.' The artist frequently reflects on the trajectory of the mind, like a somersault through air. She believes the mind becomes as fluid as a fish when encountering a still water surface, low-blooming flowers, swaying grasslands, a child's gestures, or the ridge of water's surface. She reveals that the mind navigating through space is not about dreaming of escape but rather serves as a central rhythm that carries one from self to others, from the visible to the invisible. This seems akin to willingly surrendering oneself to joy, dejection, and mourning. The artist is particularly attuned to the subtle moments of transition when pain shifts into sorrow, much like the sudden awareness of a changing season—because it may be at that precise moment, when all opposing elements traverse their differences, that the language of life is born. She also hopes that viewers will acquire a rhythm of life that allows them to perceive the primordial cheerfulness within nature and people, even amid the friction of existence.
