Choi focuses on the physicality of creating and revealing images, and comprehensively explores the physical distance and psychological distance between the artist and the painting, and the distance that occurs in the relationship between the work and the audience. By applying tactile effects using sewing thread to the surface of a painting where working time is physically accumulated, the artist reveals images and spaces beyond the limits of the surface. In her recent works, Choi took a new approach on the scenery re-encoded on the basis of the RGB color mechanism. It still has the appearance of the original image while it is seen as three-dimensional causing an optical illusion in which the outlines are smudged. Applying her unique expression, Choi gradually extends the distance between the observed object and the flat canvas. She focuses on the senses and states of her mind while painting, and the essence of the painting she perceives. Her brush strokes create a volume over the surface of the canvas and bring a formative order and rhythm implying light beyond the canvas.

Choi Soo Jung attempts to experiment the conditions of traditional painting and seek pictorial ways to break limits beyond the canvas. She has been working to explore the memory and narrative that could be seen beyond the surface through the painting, which is a physical image on the surface, and between painting and space, and the image that activates in narratives.

Since its foundation in 2011, Gallery Baton has gained its recognition as one of the leading contemporary art galleries by consistently presenting sophisticated programs based on an in-depth analysis of current paradigms of contemporary art. Paying close attention to the present international art tendencies to develop Baton’s original curatorial practice and more balanced perspectives on contemporaneity, we have established a distinct identity by featuring acclaimed artists around the world. While participating in international art fairs including Art Basel and Frieze and proceeding collaborative projects with major art institutions, Gallery Baton is also committed to create a more sustaining art ecosystem where the co-growth with an artist is prioritized. Baton encourages the growth of emerging young artists in Korean contemporary art. We run two distinct alternative spaces dedicated to supporting talented but under-presented artists. While the Observation Deck serves as a venue for video and new media works, Chapter II, a not-for-profit program, provides studio spaces, curatorial support, and exhibition opportunities. Gallery Baton will continue to contribute to qualitative expansion and diversity of contemporary art, while striving for a closer relationship with art enthusiasts.
