Omyo Cho explores the conditions of future beings and perception by integrating speculative imagination with sculpture. Grounded in the material transformations of glass and metal, her practice constructs a sculptural language in which memory, body, and environment intersect.
Her solo exhibitions include Altered Fluid (Soorim Cube, 2023) and Fiddle head (BUAM Art, 2024). She has participated in selected group exhibitions, including Peeling Code (Incheon International Airport, 2025), The 24th SongEun Art Award (SONGEUN, 2024), SeMA Project A (Seoul Museum of Art Archive, 2025), Ambient, Environment, Circumstances (Simose Art Museum, 2025), Art and Artificial Intelligence (Ulsan Art Museum, 2024), and ZIP (ARKO Art Center, 2024). Her awards and recognitions include Fonderia Artistica Battaglia (Milan, 2025), the Baloise Prize (Art Basel, 2024), and the Soorim Art Award (Soorim Cultural Foundation, 2020).
