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.
Jione Choi received MFA Painting in Slade School of Fine Art 2019, London. Recently, she received RWS Publicity Prize from the Royal Watercolour Society and she has been selected as one of the finalist artists of Art Gemini 9th edition. In 2022, the artist won the Signature Art Prize 2022in Drawing & Printmaking Category and one of her works (Growing Love) has been included in art collection of Standard Chartered Bank.
