The artist covered the three-storey brownstone in coloured pencil and pastel rubbings, creating a highly personal aggregate of space and touch. Suh's work Rubbing/Loving (2016) memorialised his New York apartment in which he had resided for 18 years.

Home Within Home Within Home Within Home Within Home (2013), for example, recreates his traditional childhood residence within his Providence abode. He transformed the spatial and cultural disorientation of his arrival in the United States into collapsable silk installations.

In Floor, thousands of plastic figurines upheld a glass floor that viewers were invited to walk across. This revelation led to the works Floor (1997), and Some/One (2001), presented at the Korean Pavilion during the Venice Biennale. 'I was interested in the notion that in addition to being transportable, Asian traditional painting allows for one picture to work as one piece or as several pieces. 'I was observing the form of scroll painting and screen painting in Asian art,' Suh told Ocula Magazine. He migrated to the United States to escape the stifling environment, pursuing further studies at the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University.ĭo-Ho Suh's early paintings experimented with three-dimensional space. The son of respected modern ink painter Suh Se Ok, Suh studied Oriental painting at the Seoul National University before completing his military service in 1993. Suh was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1962.
