STATEMENT I’ve always been interested in non-dualistic ways of seeing. As an artist living and working in the United States but having grown up in Korea, my work examines how visual experiences are interpreted in different cultural references and the discrepancy between seeing and perceiving in the form of a landscape painting to understand the world I’m living in. In recent years, ‘seeing’ has become my painting’s subject matter to understand the feeling of presence. I explore how the intermingling of the physical material and the thought process renders the narrative of my painting. In my painting process, folding and cutting a paper stimulates a perception playing such as matching a line or shapes, and motivates an associative thinking of image creation. I find that this circling of the physical and imaginative painting process allows me to navigate in the moment and embrace serendipity. BIOGRAPHY Sang-ah Choi is a visual artist living and working in Mountain View, California. Her work explores the uncertainty and the paradox of visual experiences in the language of landscape painting. She received her BFA and MFA from Ewha Women’s University of Seoul, Korea and received an MFA in painting from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her works have been featured in solo and group shows nationally and internationally, such as Portland Art Museum (OR), Sandra Gering Gallery (NY), la Biennale di Venezia (collateral event, Venice), Today Art Museum (Taipei), Sarubia Dabang (Seoul), Arario Gallery (NY), White Box (Portland, OR), Art Gym (Portland, OR).

$2,300 - Untitled (Līnea Study), 2022Located in Washington, DCOriginal work by Mary Early. Graphite, wax crayon, and sumi ink on Arches paper, 12.25 x 16". "The production, or “pouring,” of beeswax elements has become a meditative process that is integral to my art practice, serving as an observation of time, materials, and space. The raw beeswax I use has taken its form at the end of a long series of natural processes followed by a manufacturing process, and once it is in my hands, the studio becomes a factory. I apply my own methods of transforming the material by casting the beeswax into three-dimensional forms. Once I have fixed both a place and a time in the future for a potential installation, I begin to determine how the beeswax lines will take their aggregated shape in that space and, simultaneously, how many lines might be manufactured for that particular space in the amount of time available." Mary Early (born 1975, Washington, DC) lives and works in Washington, DC. She studied visual art, film, and video at Bennington College, and her work has been exhibited at the United States Botanic Garden, Washington Project for the Arts, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Second Street Gallery (Charlottesville, VA), Hemphill Fine Arts (Washington DC,) the Austrian Cultural Forum (Washington DC), Galerie Im Ersten (Vienna, Austria), Kloster Schloss Salem (Salem, Germany), Kunstlerbund Tubingen (Tubingen, Germany), and the American University Museum (Washington DC) among other regional and national galleries. Her early work incorporated formed concrete, tarpaper and paraffin wax, fabricated wood structures, and, increasingly over the years, surfaces coated with wax as a method of preserving or concealing an object within. Recent works have relied solely on solid forms cast in wax, abandoning the use of any permanent armature. Temporary installations are guided by schematic drawings and plans, which then serve as a permanent record. In 2014 she exhibited her first large-scale installation of wax lines at Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, VA, followed by temporary installations in response to various historical sites in Salem, Germany (2016) and Tubingen Germany (2017). In 2017 she participated in the exhibition “Twist-Layer-Pour” at the American University Museum, which included Untitled [Curve], an installation of thousands of beeswax lines assembled on the floor of the museum. In spring 2018 she was commissioned to create a temporary installation at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Sun Valley Idaho. This work took the form of two intersecting curtains of hanging beeswax lines bisecting a 12’ foot x 18’ foot room, providing an immersive and enclosed viewing space. Early’s work is included in the collections of the US Department of State/Embassy of Panama, Kimpton Hotels, and the District of Columbia Art Bank among other public and private collections. She is a recipient of the Artist Fellowship Grant from the DC Commission on Arts & Humanities, Washington DC (2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2011, 2009, 2007). Early is the director of HEMPHILL Fine Arts, Washington, DC, and serves on the boards of Hamiltonian Artists and Washington Sculptors Group. She handles the work of contemporary artists and artist estates, including the work of William Christenberry, Colby Caldwell, Hedieh Javanshir Ilchi, Linling Lu, Mingering Mike, Robin Rose, Renée Stout...Category
