About the Artwork
Choi Jeong-hwa blurs, disturbs, and enjoys the boundaries between the real and the false, artworks and commodities, and art and everyday life using waste banners, household supplies, plastic bowls, bath scrubbers, trophies, vinyl, and foil as the materials for his works. He interprets mass production and mass consumption made available thanks to Korea’s modernization with such keywords as excessive obsession and excessive consumption. He thereby creates his intrinsic Korean Pop Art with the hope that his viewers might come across them in an ordinary space as opposed to a museum or gallery.
