Biography
South Korean, b. 1965
Choi Tae Hoon, born in 1965, is part of Korea's rapidly developing contemporary art scene which is now beginning to have greater international exposure.
Having pursued his Fine Arts Degree (B.F.A and M.F.A) at Kyung-Hee University in Seoul, he has redefined the elements of sculptural works.
In making a collage of time that has been transformed into an organic form, Choi uses a plasma torching technique where he cuts and welds not only stainless steel plates but also, the cumulative nature of time.
The incalculable numbers of the tiny holes on the surface of the work reveal an intensity between the artist's intention and the unruly nature of the material.
Aspects of his life are reflected and embedded onto each sculpture that he has crafted. One of his debut installations in Vancouver Biennale showing his work 'Skin of Time' amazed the audience by the details of the texture created.
'Skin of Time' is a tree that represents aspects of his life and he has attached and embedded messages and memories related to his personal life on the skin.
Aspects of his life are reflected and embedded onto each sculpture that he has crafted. One of his debut installations in Vancouver Biennale showing his work 'Skin of Time' amazed the audience by the details of the texture created.
