The artist will visit the gallery on Thursday, Nov. 3, for a reception from noon to 2 p.m. and a lecture starting at 1:15 p.m. She will also hold a studio demonstration at 9:45 a.m. These events and the exhibit are free of charge and open to the
public.
Gallery hours are weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 2 p.m.
Koh uses her art to explore how humans perceive their behaviors and the world around them. Influenced by Korean myth culture and Buddhist philosophy, she seeks to create and depict her own reality. Her characters often combine traits of humans and non-humans, reminding the viewer that
people are not as removed from “lower” animals as society often thinks.
Koh currently resides in Nevada, where she is an assistant professor at the University of Nevada-Reno. She received her bachelor’s degree in Korea and her master of fine
arts degree in California.
Her works illustrate two of her beliefs: that the common conception of reality is manufactured by
society and the relationship between humans and animals is closer than
many believe.
Although this show features paper works, she has also done installation pieces and made pop-out
books featuring her characters.
