NOH Sangho
NOH Sangho (b. 1986) has constructed a unique artistic realm centered around paintings derived from images floating in the online sphere. By collecting, replicating, and transforming the images encountered daily in the digital virtual world of the internet, he reinterprets them into analog art forms, including painting, sculpture, and video. NOH Sangho's creative process reflects the artist's contemplation on how images are consumed and created within the conditions of our time. The Great Chapbook series, which NOH has consistently presented since 2014, is a collection of paintings that combine daily drawings into one scene and color them with oil paint. Working with the digital media environment as a core reference, NOH strives to respond simultaneously to the impacts of unfamiliar technologies. Beginning in 2021, he integrated 3D video production techniques into his practice and, in 2022, began to utilize results from AI image generation programs as a subject matter for his paintings. This indicates that shifts in his creative approach consistently coincide with the advent of new media technologies. Advancing beyond the conventional method of surfing the internet for images, the series HOLY (2022-) emerged from the intuitive selection of images produced by AI, drawing them onto the canvas.
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 Yukikomizutani (Tokyo, Japan, 2024), 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. The artist gained attention for being selected in The 24th SongEun Art Award (2024) and National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art's Young Exploration 2014 (2014). He was the artist-in-residence at the SeMA Nanji Residency (Seoul, Korea) in 2015, and also participated in an artist residency exchange program between Hungary and Korea (Budapest, Hungary) in 2016. He won the Lee Sang Wook Prize (Korean Contemporary Printmakers Association, Korea) in 2016. His works are collected by institutions such as the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art’s Government Art Bank, Koo House Museum, ARARIO MUSEUM, and more.
