After extracting the narrative structure of various stories, the artist reconstructs the events and reproduces the images to seek discourse with contemporary narratives. By removing or reconstructing the direct object of the event, the artist attempts to emphasize the essence underlying the narrative to create a dialogue with the audience. 『Patchwork』 series presents the theme of ‘corporealization’ as the counterpart of ‘nation’ and ‘body’ as the constitution of the world. From the Frankenstein-like figure of the combined ragged giant to the cyborg combined with mechanical devices to assist the body, from the small screen to the large screen combined with multiple screens, the evolving or expanding life reflects the state of war of all against all: “Man’s selfish nature to protect himself inevitably shapes the form of a powerful force to realize it”. The main forms (and the result of various agreements) of the entries, such as replacement, substitution, assembly, combination, and expansion, are presented as a body and a state (the mortal god) formed in this state of struggle, and through the exhibition, they come together to form a world.

Gallery THEO is founded in Seoul, South Korea in 2020. The priority mission of THEO is to establish a sustainable art cycle rooted in diversity. THEO was established by two directors who have built their careers in the art markets of the UK and the US, bringing their international expertise and networks to the Korean art scene. The primary objective of Gallery THEO is to showcase the wide-ranging spectrum of Korean art and its richness. The gallery is dedicated to supporting young and gifted Korean artists, regardless of artistic genres, and identifying the commercial potential in their work. By providing a platform for these artists, the gallery aims to foster their growth and development within the rapidly evolving art ecosystem. In addition to promoting local artists, Gallery THEO actively seeks to encourage diversity and bridge cultural boundaries. The gallery accomplishes this by establishing strong relationships with relevant institutions and collaborations with galleries both locally and internationally. By engaged in collaborations with artists and directors from various backgrounds, Gallery THEO strives to introduce international artists to Korean and Asian audiences, thereby promoting cross-cultural exchange and expanding the artistic discourse. Through challenging projects and a commitment to artists excellence, Gallery THEO envisions a gallery space that can co-exist and thrive alongside art creators, adapting to the dynamic art landscape.
