AHHI CHOI: 365 Inspiration

Seoul

2024.06.15 - 07.21

Ahhi Choi captures the subtle beauties of everyday life on canvas as if writing a diary. This exhibition features his latest series in delicate pastel tones, as well as various artworks including sculptures and pieces using skateboards.

Reflecting on the journey of life he has traversed; the artist infuses his works with the subconscious formed along the way. Following language studies in Los Angeles, USA, Ahhi embarked on explorations of the western United States, venturing into vast national parks such as Death Valley and the Grand Canyon. During his travels, Ahhi deepened his appreciation and connection to the magnificence of nature, evolving these experiences into art.

Subsequently, drawing inspiration from daily life, he continues to express his adventures as a form of diary, utilizing ink on paper or filling wooden panels with his unique abstract colors, lines, and textures. Through organic hand movements on paper, he interprets silhouettes, drawings, words, and characters derived from the well of memory into dynamic lines. Particularly, the visually striking lines, unmistakably bold, serve as elements within his artworks that transcend the boundaries of both Japan and Korea, embodying the inspiration of a third-generation Korean-Japanese diaspora, navigating the borders of both countries freely and fluidly, reflected paradoxically within his works.

ABOUT

崔雅喜

崔雅喜

崔雅喜出生於1983年的日本兵庫縣,其作品中的曲線既輕快且充滿活力,傳達出藝術家本身的視覺經驗以及冒險性格。2014年起在紐約展出後受到注目,開始廣泛於國際間展出,包括美國、法國、義大利、韓國、新加坡、香港等。
崔雅喜的創作主題圍繞著內心景象之投射。他曾於大學畢業後在美國洛杉磯留學,期間尋訪了西岸幅員遼闊的國家公園如死亡谷、大峽谷及黃石國家公園等。這趟美國的旅程奠定了他對於大自然的敬仰與喜愛。回到家鄉神戶後,曾是充滿鄉愁的老家卻因為都市壓迫緊繃的生活模式使得崔雅喜感受到一股疲乏。在日復一日的生活中,崔雅喜以過往的經驗為靈感,開始著手透過顏料及畫布繪製屬於自己的冒險抽象旅遊日誌。他的手自由地在畫布上描繪出有機的線條,從他的記憶中汲取旅程中的剪影、圖片、文字等,將之轉換為充滿能量且受大眾喜愛的圖像。
除平面繪畫之外,崔雅喜亦廣泛涉足其他領域,包括鞋子、滑板、織品、葡萄酒酒標、手機殼、CD封面及樂器製作等設計。2020年更於兵庫縣知名蘆屋神社中供奉他的作品「中今」,與神社合作的數量限定的繪馬一推出即銷售完畢。此外,並與掛軸、屏風及畫框聞名的老店:加納雲錦堂展開合作。
