OMAE Gallery presents Time – Chapter 3, a solo exhibition by Eun-jung Choi, opening in October 2023. Known for her dedication to visualizing the intangible nature of time, Choi continues her exploration through a vibrant new series of relief works created with layered Korean hanji paper. This chapter marks a deepened focus on color and material, as she moves beyond the dyed papers and mixed media of her earlier phases to work exclusively with colored hanji. The result is a richly textured body of work that captures the passage of time in tactile, abstract forms—each piece a meditative study in rhythm, density, and depth.

Choi’s artistic evolution can be traced across three chapters: from her early organic depictions of waves, mountains, and wood grains in Chapter 1, to the more abstract, minimalist expressions of temporal flow in Chapter 2, and now to the vibrant material poetry of Chapter 3. Her process—daily soaking, kneading, and layering of hanji—is as meditative as it is physical. These accumulated layers hold not only visual weight, but also the traces of her lived time, embedded with personal reflection and creative labor. Her art is, in essence, a quiet but powerful embodiment of time itself—formed by hand, one layer at a time.
