Inah Choe’s work, characterized by narrative abstraction, gradually reveals images through layers of tentative painting moments. Her paintings begin with lingering echoes of both experienced and imagined narratives, navigating between figuration and abstraction. The material properties of paint and various painterly elements interact on the canvas, creating an unpredictable state of change. Inah Choe (b.1990) graduated with a BFA in Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and received her MFA and PhD in Painting from the Graduate School of Hongik University. She has held several solo exhibitions, including Deep Ground (l’espace71, 2021), Slippery Night (Sangup Gallery, 2020), and Fermi Bubbles (17717, 2017). She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions such as Trees (17717, 2023), Epiphany of the Wind (Space Sieon, 2023), Portrait of Scenery (Bef Storage, 2023), New & Next (Seoul Auction Gangnam Center, 2023), Untitled: Plane, Layer (Gallery JJ, 2023), Transversal Surfaces (Lotte Gallery, 2023), Vibrant Gap_PATCH (One and J Gallery, 2022), and It Doesn’t Matter (Obscura, 2022). Her work has been featured in art fairs such as Art Busan (2023), The Preview Seongsu (2022), and The Preview Hannam (2021). She was selected for the Korea Arts Management Service Preliminary Represented Artist Program (2023) and the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture's Agora Cicada’s Sentence project (2018).
