Jay Choi: Inner Landscape

"Landscape here is different from nature. Where nature lies beyond the reach of human perception, landscape is the product of an interpretation of nature, the outcome of consciousness. It is, so to speak, the limit the subject's perception can reach — the boundary drawn, the invisible line, between subject and nature. In other words, landscape is generated between the artist and nature, and therefore from relation." — critic Chunghwan Ko

The image of a lone house, its painterly texture emphasized, presents a landscape in which the artist unfolds an inner world through formal language. The work leads us, past all the absurdity, tragedy, and darkness of our lives, toward a free and boundless world.
