About the Work

Renowned for his work that draws on Zen Buddhist and Taoist philosophies of balance, as well as Korean Dolmen from the Archaic period, Korean artist and master craftsman Byung Hoon Choi uses stone and wood to embrace natural beauty.


Shown for the first time outside of Korea, afterimage of beginning 024-619 pays homage to Choi's Korean cultural heritage, particularly its emphasis on nature and minimal design. By using wood and natural stone bases to evoke shapes and patterns found in nature, he offers a contemplative vision of the quiet grace and unadorned beauty of the natural world.

  

“The materials I use, each carries its own history and energy,” Choi explains. “My process is about finding harmony in their contrasts and celebrating the quiet beauty that emerges from these natural forms.” This new wooden cabinet is grounded in the raw, elemental qualities of organic materials; highlighting nature’s inherent beauty and finding balance through the artist’s intervention.
