Leesop Cho

About
Leesop Cho’s sense of self is grounded gender identity and orientation, and he translating the experiences, wounds, and emotional turbulence that stem from these foundations into a sculptural language. For Cho, erotic love is not merely an exchange of emotions, but a primal force that operates across boundaries between human and non-human, living and non-living. This understanding underpins the queer narratives that run throughout his work and expands into a critical interrogation of heteronormative order and the idea of normativity. Using the body as a central sculptural element, Cho assembles fragmented forms with fragile and incongruous materials such as silicone tubing, crystal glass, rubber, wire, lace, sequins, and beads. Their loosely knotted, irregular compositions and incomplete connections visualize an unfixed state, metaphorically expressing the fluidity and instability of the body and identity.
