Do Ho Suh (hangul:서도호, born 1962) is a Korean sculptor and installation artist. His works often explore the concept of space and home.[1]
Suh was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1962. He’s earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from Seoul National University in Oriental Painting. He also studied at Rhode Island School of Design where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting in 1994. Then, in 1997, he received a Master of Fine Arts in sculpture from Yale University. Suh currently has live-in studios located in London, New York City, and Seoul.[1] Suh was named the Wall Street Journal's Innovator of the Year in Art in 2013.[2] He represented Korea at the 49th Venice Beinnale in 2001.[3]
Early Life
editSuh grew up in Seoul and served in the Korean military before immigrating to the United States. Suh’s father, Suh Se-Ok, led a 1960s art movement to combine traditional ink paintings with new meanings and concepts from the abstract art movement that was happening in the West.[4] Immigrating to the United States affected how Suh interpreted home and created an overarching theme in his works where he explores space and how we interact with it.[1]

Article Evaluation: Felipe Pantone
The content in this article is relevant to the artist and there isn't anything that's out of place. There's no mention of his recent project Configurable Art, which is a significant portion of his art career now. The History section of this article could be fleshed out a little more. The tone is full of praise, but it's all from sourced articles. All of the links work and are fairly reputable. There's nothing in this article's talk page.
