Yeonjoo Cho
Yeonjoo Cho 조연주
(b. 1991, Seoul, South Korea)
Based in Glasgow
Yeonjoo Cho is a Korean-born visual artist, researcher, and educator based in Glasgow, United Kingdom. Her creative practice has focused on the idea of Oriental painting, traditional tropes of East Asian art, Orientalism, immigration and hybridised forms in art history. Starting with a question on the dichotomic division of Oriental and Western painting, her work contemplates how so-called Oriental images and tropes could embrace cultural others and hybrids. In 2023, she completed her practice-based PhD, ‘Re-presenting Oriental painting as an Intercultural Hybrid’ at the Glasgow School of Art.
조연주는 영국 글래스고에 기반을 두고 활동하는 시각예술가-연구자이다. 동양화 (Oriental Painting)과 동아시아 미술의 전통 형식, 오리엔탈리즘, 이민과 예술사의 혼종적 양식들에 관심을 가지고 작업해왔다. 조연주의 작업은 서양화와 동양화의 이분적 분리에 대한 질문으로부터 시작하여, 어떻게 동양적으로 비추어지는 이미지들이 타자, 잡종 또는 혼종에 대한 이야기를 담을 수 있는지 고찰한다. 2023년 글래스고 스쿨 오브 아트에서 ‘동양화 다시 재현하기: 상호문화간 잡종으로서의 동양화’ (원제 ‘Re-presenting Oriental painting as an Intercultural Hybrid’)라는 논문으로 박사 학위를 받았다.
