About

Jione Choi has built a practice based upon memories - how they appear and disappear. Through intangible, memories can act as mechanisms through which we see the world. Choi's paintings express this fluid sense of ethereality, recalling past and present at once. The artist is from Seoul and is based in London, where she gained an MFA from Slade School of Fine Art. After graduating the school, she got the Global talent visa (Tier1) to live as an artist based in London. She has selected as a part of Rising Star Report 2019 created by Saatchi Art, and she was one of the three finalists of Marshwood arts award 2019 in Painting and Drawing category. She was one of the shortlisted artists of Graduate art Prize 2019. She also collaborated with Heal’s Mansard gallery during London Design Festival 2019. In addition, she had two solo shows and more than 20 group shows.
