Lovers, par Rala Choi

Through a colour palate saturated with a painterly quality, Rala Chois photographs create expressive depictions of our inner worlds and relationships. Ralas experimentation with photography began after hed enlisted in the military in 2006. He then spent a few years making commercial and commission-based work, but this never felt quite right. Rala explains it was the support of musicians and friends that allowed him to immerse himself in more self-directed artworks.

For him, the creative process needed distilling into a more intimate process of production; the results are personal reflections of universal emotional experiences. Rala describes his process as beginning with contemplation, then sketches, before a scene materialises, likely illuminated solely by natural light, in which feelings are expressed through colour, character, and Ralas signature painterly quality.
The photographs exhibited are the story of Ralas emotions and experiences of love relationships.

Reason
Why shouldn’t I let go of this relationship?
