Yeonjoo Cho
Yeonjoo Cho 조연주
(b. 1991, South Korea)
Based in Glasgow
Yeonjoo Cho is a Korean artist-researcher who currently works in Glasgow, UK. Her paintings have shown imaginary landscapes which interweave traditional tropes and her personal narratives. Her latest practice explores the dualistic division between East and West in contemporary art and the concept of ‘Oriental painting’. Research on East Asian art history and postcolonial theories has played a crucial role in her latest works, which question the previous understanding of Oriental painting as the antithesis of Western painting. Through her ongoing research, ‘Painterly Hybridisation’, Cho aims to challenge the pervasive cultural binarism and expand the meaning of Oriental painting, reflecting on her cross-cultural reality.
