Omyo Cho
Biography
Integrating her practice with biology and neuroscience, Omyo Cho (b. 1984 in Seoul, lives and works in Seoul) translates nebulous memories and imaginary futures into tangible writings and sculptures, fabricating speculative worlds where human experiences inhabit in evershifting forms. Orchestrating glass and metals as her primary sculptural mediums, Cho intersects their diametrical characteristics—delicacy and resilience—to dissolve the boundaries of materiality, crafting entities that transcend humanity’s traces. Her recent solo exhibitions include BUAM ART, Seoul (2024); Soorim Cube, Seoul (2023); and TEMI, Dajeon (2021). She also participated in group exhibitions and projects at Seoul Museum of Art (2025); Incheon International Airport (2025); Simose Art Museum, Hiroshima (2025); Ulsan Art Museum (2024); SEHWA Museum of Art, Seoul (2024); Insa Art Space, Seoul (2023), among others. Her works are collected by Soorim Cultural Foundation, Seoul. Cho graduated from the Fine Art Department at Goldsmiths University of London.
