    Choi Youngwook, Karma 20256-6, 2025 mixed media on canvas 120 x 110 cm

    Choi Youngwook (b.1964 Seoul, Korea; Resides and works in Seoul) is best known for his internationally acclaimed Karma series, a body of work spanning over two decades dedicated to the spiritual depiction of the Moon Jar. Meticulously built up through layers of gesso and pigment, each painting presents a strikingly flattened image of the vessel, creating a subtle tension with its implied three-dimensional form. Across this surface, infinitely detailed capillary lines, resembling networks of cracks that reveal the expansive conceptual realm of Karma, a profound reflection on collective memory, time and the karmic entanglements of human experience.
