CV

Seohyun Cho (b. South Korea) is a New York–based artist currently residing and working in Manhattan. Cho’s practice explores fragmented perception, provisional sense, and the construction of associative experience through sculpture.Cho’s sculptures operate at the intersection of material accident and cognitive association, inviting viewers to reflect on how meaning is formed in conditions of uncertainty and overload.

Artist Statmemt

My sculptures evoke a sense of familiarity through shape, color, and scale. They remain almost familiar, yet never enough to be named, allowing multiple associations to arise without settling on a single referent.

Driven by momentary obsession, I dismantle the surrounding context until the system that once held it together collapses, leaving only pieces without orientation. Anxiety, at its root, this mode of thinking leads to repeated fragmentation rather than resolution.
I materialize this process by creating sculptural presence from easily modifiable materials. As one association is present in physical, another emerges, driving further adjustment. I then gather and re-interpret these fragments through juxtapositions and reconfigurations. My sculptural work does not aim to clarify meaning, but to hold it in suspension, allowing perception to linger and reorganize over time.
