NOH Sangho (b. 1986) is a natural born storyteller, sincere practitioner and bold experimenter. Browsing the Internet and social media daily, the artist diligently collects myriad images of the day to day. NOH reconstructs the fragments selected from an array of images onto carbon paper, which is a medium that represents him as an artist. The works, executed on carbon paper, reveal the artist’s unique perspective on the flexibility of the “image” in the digital era, defined by a flood of images that travel and transform freely across platforms. Furthermore, in an attempt to expand the theme of his work to realizing the three-dimensionality of images, the artist introduces a series of works in which 2D planes and 3D moving images are intertwined organically. NOH, who considers the manner in which his works are presented and consumed to be an essential part of his practice, explores various bold and experimental ways of installation, such as largescale wall hangings and drawings on hangers—reminiscent of a clothing store. NOH Sangho was born in Seoul, Korea, in 1986. He received his BFA in Printmaking at Hongik University in 2013, and MFA in Fine Arts at Seoul National University of Science & Technology in 2022. He has held solo exhibitions at various institutions such as ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL (Seoul, Korea, 2024), ARARIO GALLERY SHANGHAI (Shanghai, China, 2023), ARARIO MUSEUM in SPACE (Seoul, Korea, 2018), SongEun ArtCube (Seoul, Korea, 2017), and SeMA West Warehouse (Seoul, Korea, 2016), as well as group exhibitions held at Ilmin Museum of Art (Seoul, Korea, 2023; 2018), ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL (Seoul, Korea, 2023; 2021; 2016), Isetan The Space (Tokyo, Japan, 2022), ARARIO GALLERY CHEONAN (Cheonan, Korea, 2021), Atelier Hermès (Seoul, Korea, 2020), Daegu Art Museum (Daegu, Korea, 2019), SongEun ArtSpace (Seoul, Korea, 2018), Kumho Museum of Art (Seoul, Korea, 2017), National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Gwacheon, Korea, 2017; 2014), and more.
