Artist Profile
Woojin Choi
b. 1999, Based in Seoul, South Korea
Woojin Choi fields an unconventional approach to the human figure. Beginning purely as a private practice and a personal obsession in 2026, Choi layers heavy, deliberate oil medium onto the fragile pages of ordinary sketchbooks. Unbound by traditional academic institutions or commercial gallery systems, the focus remains entirely on the raw, intuitive traces of materiality and the quiet gravity of a gaze.
Background & Ethos
There are no grand institutional retrospectives or long lists of prestigious gallery exhibitions here. The works are not born out of formal curatorial mandates, but from a spontaneous necessity to observe and capture the people around.
"I paint human figures on sketchbook pages because I love it. So what?"
What you see on the screen is exactly what is left on the paper—exposed pencil lines, structural guidelines, and incomplete margins. It is art in its most unmanipulated, immediate state.
