Seoul, b. 1983

YuSeong Choe (b.1983) is an artist who moves away from the premise that painting must interpret reality or convey a specific meaning, focusing instead on the act of painting itself. Rather than constructing a completed image, she concentrates on the sensory responses and processes that unfold on the surface. Her work begins with visual impressions captured from everyday moments and with reactions to spatial conditions on the plane. The surface is not formed according to a predetermined structure, but emerges through the accumulation and layering of elements. Color generates form and space while remaining unfixed, flowing to create emotion and rhythm. For her, painting is not a final statement but an ongoing process that continually questions the notions of completion and harmony. Through surfaces that reveal imperfection and the potential for change, she explores the possibility of painting as a state in which meaning remains open and unsettled.
