Arang Choi

Born in 1992 in Seoul, South Korea, Arang Choi lives and works in Vienna, Austria. Studying at Vienna’s Academy of Fine Arts under famed professors such as Daniel Richter, Choi’s work interrogates our understanding of existence in general. The anthropomorphic mythical creature appears in a variety of forms throughout Choi’s work but never in exactly the same way and invokes a spiritual-religious notion of animism that positions humans, animals and nature on equal planes. Both otherworldly and fantastical, Choi’s compositions bring together the definable and undefinable in a narrative of mystical fiction inspired by her infinite dream stage.
