Metaphor is a collection of new paintings by Korean-born artist Go Woon Choi investigating the beauty and possibilities of everyday objects. The idea came from interpreting interesting forms comprised of light and shadows of common objects around her. This exploration led Choi to crumpled foils and eventually to make compositions with what she calls abstract metals.

“If someone were to ask me why I paint metal, I would say I love the strong feeling and my one of my old past times was welding sculpture. I will continue to work on these series to make more layers or more variety shapes or colors.”

Choi’s interest in common objects is rooted in her idea that “even common objects can appear strong and fantastic under different light conditions and environments”. She transforms ordinary objects into extraordinary visual experiences, with repetition and variation. The light changes on the surfaces to give an impression of constant motion. Sharing the process of their becoming, ordinary objects can provoke intense emotions of strength and energy.
