Sprayed Orbits
In Sprayed Orbits (2026), Choi expands the geometric movement and the spontaneous flow of paint explored in her paintings into sculpture and space. Painting, sculpture, and wall installation are woven together within a single environment, extending beyond individual works to form a continuous sensory experience.
The painting series Sprayed Orbits, which forms the core of the exhibition, begins from the mathematical structure of tangent circles. Based on algorithmic relationships that connect arcs by shifting the center of circles along points of tangency, Choi generates curves and accumulates sprayed paint particles along their trajectories. The sprayed particles scatter and gather on their own, creating slowly building layers of color and spontaneous flows. In this process, the geometric structure does not resolve into fixed forms, but remain as shifting trajectories within the intermixing of color particles and variations in density.
This painterly investigation extends into the sculptural series Holon. Based on spherical geometry and topological thinking, these sculptures transform the form of the sphere, continuously inverting the relationships between inside and outside, surface and empty space. Installed as mobiles, the works slowly rotate in response to subtle air currents, appearing in ever-changing forms depending on the viewer’s angle and the passage of time. Within the exhibition space, they form a continuous field in relation to the paintings and the wall installation Geometric Echoes.
In Sprayed Orbits, geometry is not presented as a structure that organizes transcendent order or visual distance. Instead, Choi draws unstable elements long excluded from modern systems of rationality—such as the movement of particles, tactile surfaces, generative algorithms, and topological transformation—into the work itself, allowing geometry to operate once again within flows of sensation and materiality. Here, painting no longer presents an object viewed from a distance, but exists as a decentered environment that surrounds and permeates the viewer, forming a sensory atmosphere throughout the space. Amid scattering particles and rotating sculptures, viewers encounter constantly changing scenes shaped by the shifting positions of their viewpoint and body, without anchoring themselves to a single center.
