Choi Yoonhee's (B.1986) paintings depict accumulated time that remains like a trace. Paint is layered onto the canvas where atypical smudges and tangled thread-like lines merge in abstract landscapes of flowing waves, portraying inner emotions, memories, and traces of time. Transitioning from capturing the outskirts of the cityscape to delving deep into the inner self, Choi replaced her intense strokes and vibrant colors with compositions of faint and subtle lines and surfaces, the light strokes of her paintbrush just barely grazing the surface of the canvas. Incorporating a tactile sense of physically rubbing the paint with her hands, she portrays a continuous flow connected by subtle emotional nuances, devoid of any sharpness. Her gaze towards the inner self follows the traces that remain when one closes one's eyes or covers one's ears to block out sight and sound. These moments are not of disappearance, where nothing is left, but exist in their own ineffable form, a shape that is not a shape, a sound that is not a sound.

Choi Yoonhee graduated from Gachon University with a degree in Painting and obtained a Master's in Visual Art from the Korea National University of Arts. She has held solo exhibitions at various institutions, including Tuning In at TINC in 2024, the OCI Museum of Art, PS Sarubia, and Gallery175. She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions at the Daejeon Museum of Art, Amado Art, P21, and Common Center. She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions at the Daejeon Museum of Art, Amado Art, P21, and Common Center.

Yoonhee Choi (B.1986) depicts the accumulated time left behind like traces by layering paint with thin lines that resemble atypical smudges and tangled threads. Inner feelings, memories, and traces of time are expressed in abstract landscapes that are like flowing waves of lines and surfaces. Turning away from capturing the existing cityscape on the outskirts of the city, he switched from intense touches and colors to faint, pale compositions of lines and planes with passing brushstrokes. Adding to this the physical sensation of rubbing the paint with his hands, he creates a flow that is stripped of sharpness and is constantly connected to the nuances of emotion. The gaze that turns inward follows the traces that remain, not as a disappearance, where nothing is left when the eyes and ears are closed to block out sight and sound, but as its own ineffable form, a shape that is not a shape, a sound that is not a sound.
