Bouie Choi<\/a>
\nMedium of instruction: Cantonese (English translation is available)
\nClass size: 12 (first come first served)<\/p>\nBouie Choi employs wood as a spatiotemporal medium, with a practice consistently centered on the quiet observation of “fragile existence.” While her earlier works distilled collective memory and urban imprints through repetitive processes of preserving, pouring, sanding, and washing, her recent practice has shifted from cityscapes toward more intuitive and introspective visual narratives. By allowing the natural grain and color washes to guide her imagination, she captures sensory vignettes woven from fragments of biography, dreams, and everyday life. Though her narrative perspective evolves through time and space, her deep focus on the human condition\u2014navigating between unrest and solace\u2014remains unwavering.<\/p>\n
Choi holds a BA from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (2009) and MA from Chelsea College of Arts, London (2012). Recent solo exhibitions include \u2018Those warm and unwavering existences\u2019 (2026), solo exhibition in Basel Switzerland (2023), and in Grotto Fine Art Hong Kong (2023). Recent group shows include \u2018Hybrid Nature\u2019 in Alisan Fine Arts New York (2025) , \u2018Three Tired Tigers\u2019 in Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai (2024-25), and Stanford University (2024). Her work is held in the permanent collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery.<\/p>\n
Meet the artist and learn more about her creative process. What does it take to turn representations abstract? What role do materials play in an abstract work of art? Is there a formula for it, or is it meant to be all spontaneous?<\/p>\n
There will be a hands-on section included in this workshop. All tools and materials will be provided.<\/p>\n
