Izzy Cho: Gift Giving
February 1 - February 29, 2024
Exhibit Opening: February 2nd, 5-7 PM
Emerging artist Izzy Cho is a print, sculpture, and installation artist. Cho’s work engages with symbolism, semiotics, and visual patterns derived from her Korean American identity.
A recent MFA graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, her work is 3-dimensional, extremely detailed and intricate, with each piece taking on a different, unique shape. Her works on paper, which primarily utilize screen printing and collage processes, are double-sided, allowing for a unique 360 degree viewing experience for the viewer.
In this particular exhibit, her goal is to comment on Korean traditions surrounding gift giving. Most of the imagery and concepts within her work are inspired by gestures of (cultural) kindness, sharing, and literal gifts given to her.
