Hyun Cho has chosen to take risks, creating sculptures that are the result of unusual unions and that bring themselves to light. Even though there is no autobiographical reflection in Hyun Cho’s work, it addresses her personal experiences with immediate emotional reactions through language. Whist admiring her works one can find the willingness to understatement the present, for example seen, manga culture and in k-pop, a worldwide custom phenomenon born in your South Korea intertwining it with a more “European/American” skating culture. a true expression of the artist’s cultural mix, having lived for many years in New York before settling in Europe. There she perceived a great energy and freedom in using a skateboard on the streets. Relevant is her intent to articulate these sensations and aspirations, reworking in particular those that are the syneddochi of the skate, perfect and frictionless wheels. In her text based works she remixes the stylistic characteristics of Rock & Roll lyrics with a Pop sensibility, whose impossible advertising appeal reaches the passersby sideways right on the street outside. She attempts to reassemble objects to divorce them from the orthodoxy of meaning which has been previously assigned to them, creating and redefining a new meaning.

Hyun Cho has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions locally and abroad.
