Choe Sooryeon
Artist
b. 1986
Choe Sooryeon paints with interest the images of the East that are reproduced in contemporary
times. On one hand, she partly doubts about the “Oriental” things regarded as old and strange
values in the Korean society posterior to modernization. On the other hand, she is blindly fond of
them, and considers about them. Based on the conventional clichĕ images shared in Northeast
Asia, Choe Sooryeon focuses on depicting grief, women, gap from the reality, inner Orientalism,
doubt, ignorance and the absurd through her painting.
