Choi Hyeji

Korean, b. 1989

Choi Hyeji is an artist who tells the story of life with a particular medium, cement. Her work captures our lives with vivid colors and matières that seem to have been created by a child using clay. The artist, who records everything as if it were the feeling of a day viewed through a child's eyes, creates thematic vision by looking at life as the continuation of constant change.

Choi Hyeji's work captures modern people living their daily lives especially when traveling to cities around the world. Her series, including New York, Busan, India, and Vietnam, are represented by the title of "LIFE". Painted with material of cement, her work allows anyone who sees it to reflect their own lives. Although cement in some way has cold properties, its hardness and solidness are suitable for showing the potential and vitality that support the artist’s perspective.
