“Dot Dot Dot” is about the strange ellipsis that time on the road can feel like - a kind of daydream fugue of repetitive passing signs and endless corridors of trees.Īt its heart, Choi’s work is a wonderful melding of heady conceptual art and a modern spin on the landscape. She arrays her dot, dot, dots in rows of three: an ellipsis indicating time’s passage. It’s a push and pull between seduction and vigilance the lulling, hypnotic monotony of driving, counterbalanced by the air of hyper-vigilance the roadway demands where warning blue lights and buzzing construction zones jolt you out of your mental fog.Ĭhoi then accents several of her paintings with blue orbs the size of ping pong balls. Her color palette is a road crew rainbow of blue and green navigational highway signs, traffic cone oranges and the assaultive yellow and red stripes on H.E.R.O. Choi plays with frames throughout her work, drawing Victorian cameo-like circles around her dashboard view, or cobalt blue and neon yellow rectangles that tunnel you into the work.
"Blue Sphere" in gouache and acrylic on hydrocal by Namwon Choi is on view in a solo show at The End Project Space on Atlanta's southside.Ĭhoi’s lyrical blue views of the unfolding highway are bordered by bold color that nods to hard-edge abstraction.
