Gina Choy Joins Vertu Fine Art

Vertu Fine Art is proud to announce our representation of Gina Choy, a groundbreaking Australian artist whose work explores the balance between digital technology and traditional craftsmanship. Choy’s practice reflects the dualities of our time—merging precise, hand-drawn techniques with modern digital processes to create works that are both deeply contemporary and timeless.

My visual ‘code’ is meticulously hand-generated. My pioneering aesthetic emerged from over a decade of study in traditional Chinese painting practices and the primordial algorithm of Chinese calligraphic strokes.
– Gina Choy

Choy is currently completing her PhD in the Art and Neuroscience of Traditional Chinese Painting at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. It was from the University of Queensland that she was awarded the Confucius Institute Research Scholarship in 2010, and invited to Tianjin University in China, as a representative of the School of Communication and Arts.

 

 

She was mentored at Tianjin University by Dr. Dong Ya, a well-known artist in China. Dr. Ya  said that he was  impressed by both her work ethic and technique. “Viewing Gina’s paintings in Liminal Space,” he wrote, “I can see they reflect the nature of Taoism while drawing from the beauty of Australia. They express the Tao of Chinese landscape in the abstract and concise form of Western painting. The series of Liminal Space follows the ideology of the ‘unity of all things’ and ‘harmony between man and nature’. This is a humanised nature, showing the artistic form of the universe through paintings.”

 

Choy lectured, and was a program writer, at the University of Canberra, where she award First Class Honors in Art and Design.

 

In 2024 her work was shown at Art Basel, Hong Kong. At the beginning of this year her work was exhibited on 11,527 digital screens across Australia, Belgium, Netherlands, Finland, South Africa, Romania, Spain, Portugal, and Indonesia, curated by Arthemort (former Head of Digital Art at Sotheby’s) in collaboration with global media partners.

 

Choy's works are held in private collections across Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, and Asia, as well as by institutions such as the Arab Bank of Switzerland and the World of Women. Choy lives and works in Australia’s Sunshine Coast with her husband and daughter.

 

Choy creates, and exhibits, her works in both digital and traditional formats. Works in acrylic on canvas, from Choy’s Infinity Landscapes series are available at VFA.
