影島大橋 II

Working primarily with fabric, Choi So-Young manipulates recycled denim to give perspectival texture and form to create intricate landscapes. Encompassing both sculptural and collage-like qualities, her use of this non-traditional media portrays a notion of artifice often associated with dense cityscapes. Choi articulately uses different label brands and applies them as commercial billboards in her scenery adding a playful use of color that flickers across the canvas against the dark metropolis. Colourful fireworks add lively vibrancy to the scene and illustrate the artist's intention to incite a sense of freedom upon the claustrophobic labyrinth experienced in urban city life.
