Overview
Gaze upwards at Choi Jeong Hwa's signature inflatable
flowers as they burst into bloom inside the Gallery's atrium.
Described as the 'bad boy of Korean art', Choi's eye-popping work
turns an overabundance of petals into a joyful jumble of flowers
that spill illuminated from the atrium's ceiling.
Choi's installations are one of three temporary commissioned
works which celebrate the opening of the developed Gallery.
The artist's influence extends outside the Gallery walls, with
another temporary installation, Red occupying the
reflection pool in the forecourt.
