MUSIC

Drawing and music have long been closely intertwined in Euna Gu’s artistic practice. While drawing leaves visible traces of movement, music makes the passage of time audible. Though distinct in their modes of expression, both unfold through rhythm, variation and an ongoing process of listening and responding.

​

Since 2016, Gu’s collaboration with pianist and composer Hasun Choi has explored the relationship between these two artistic languages. Rather than translating images directly into sound, Choi’s compositions emerge from an engagement with the rhythms, atmospheres and sensory qualities of Gu’s drawings, developing into musical works in their own right. Through this dialogue, drawing and music retain their distinct identities while resonating with one another.

​

To date, twelve visual works across two series—six from Nature Fantasia 12 (2016) and six from Tales of Lines (2021–2023)—have inspired original compositions by Hasun Choi.

The compositions are available on YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.
