Heejung Cho is a sculptor and printmaking artist born in Seoul, Korea, who currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received her BFA in sculpture from Seoul National University and an MFA in visual art from the Mason Gross School of the Arts, NJ. In her work, the artist focuses on constructing spaces and figures drawn from her memory and imagination, and on how, through the dismantling and abstracting of structure, it is possible to highlight the energy connecting people to their environment.

Over the past six years, Cho has also been a Keyholder Resident at the Lower East Side Printshop, a SIP Fellow at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop and a resident at the Women’s Studio Workshop in Kingston, NY.
