Choi Ung
A painter with a drifter-soul, seeking quiet truths
I paint the quiet things the world forgets to name.
Fame was an accident, not a plan. I live in the spaces between—city and country, past and present, silence and something almost like speech. I paint what others walk past: a worn-out sneaker, the pattern of branches on a wall, the emptiness left in a room after words have failed. My process is slow, like memory. I speak little, because not everything needs to be said out loud.
What I'm Into: sun-drenched steps, the smell of turpentine, long walks with no destination, shadows on white walls, half-empty bowls
