Born in Seoul, South Korea, Do Ho Suh initially studied Korean painting at Seoul National University before moving to the United States. He continued his education at the Rhode Island School of Design and later earned a Master of Fine Arts in sculpture from Yale University in 1997. His transition from traditional painting to sculptural installation marked the beginning of his signature practice, which often involves the precise replication of domestic environments.
Suh is best known for his speculative structures, which utilize lightweight, colorful polyester fabric to render architectural details like door frames, hallways, and appliances at a one-to-one scale. By recreating the physical dimensions of his former homes in Seoul, New York, and London, he creates portable, ghost-like environments that examine the intersection of personal history and physical space.
Currently based in London, Suh maintains a global presence in the contemporary art world. His work continues to be the subject of major institutional exhibitions, including the 2025 presentation Walk the House at the Tate Modern, where he remains an active voice in discussions regarding the evolution of installation art and the concept of dwelling.
