Sotheby’s Artist Quarterly
Works by Arang Choi
"Parallel Panorama"

25 January – 28 March 2024
Monday–Friday | 9:00 AM–5:00 PM

© 2023 Arang Choi, Parallel Panorama (Detail), 2023,oil on canvas, 170 x 500 cm / with base 220 x 500 cm

Arang Choi (*1992) finds her inspiration for her forms, colours and surfaces mostly in documentaries about nature, landscape and animals paired with her own observations, which the artist then processes directly into drawings or photographs, thus creating her own fantastic visual world. Arang Choi is assisted by a creature she has named Èmulb, a hybrid form somewhere between animal, human and fantasy, botanical creation, landscape and architectural space, which is constantly evolving and serves as a mediator for the artist to visualize her imagination. The eyes are particularly important to Arang Choi, who sees them as a door to empathy.

At the centre of the exhibition is Arang Choi's diploma thesis (Academy of Fine Arts / year). In the multi-part large-format installation, which refers to the atmosphere of Renaissance painting, the artist shows a fantasy world she has created, which becomes an almost realistic three-dimensional experience for the viewer, also due to the slightly curved shape of the work.

"Parallel Panorama" - the title of the show - refers to the format of the installation and the possibility of immersing oneself in an infinite number of parallel worlds, realities or mental states. Coexistence without human superiority as a utopian idea.
