Jeongan Choi
(b. 2001, Seoul, Korea)
she/her

Jeongan Choi is a visual artist based in Cologne, Germany. With a background in painting and installation, her practice centres on drawing as both an idea and a method, extending into writing and self-publishing. She approaches drawing as a verb: a way of drawing something out, and of giving concrete form to the abstract. Her work often begins with small observations from everyday life, early memories and formative experiences. These interests are intertwined with her instinct to record and preserve things, gently taking shape in her work as stories in both direct and indirect forms.
