Byung Hoon Choi’s Voice of Silence at Friedman Benda deepens his exploration of stillness through stone and wood. Influenced by Zen, Taoism, and Korean heritage, Choi’s new wooden works reflect the classical aesthetics of the Joseon Dynasty, while basalt sculptures juxtapose ancient surfaces with modern refinement. Viewing his pieces as “silent messages,” Choi invites contemplation on nature’s beauty and balance, creating a dialogue between material history and artistic intervention.
