Yongmin Cho

Artist Yongmin Cho was born on January 11th, 1986, in Seoul, Korea. He began his art practice when he was in middle school. He continued in earnest his art career by perusing his education in Seoul National University of science and technology in South Korea from 2007, with metal smiting concentration. In 2012, he moved to Chicago and began to study fine art (painting) in The School of Art Institute of Chicago. Through his years at SAIC, he was inspired by many artists at AIC who depicted daily life with their unique style such as Edward hopper, David Hockney, Alex Katz, and Edouard Vuillard. He began to develop his personal style, creating representational paintings that showed the influence of those artists.
