Minyeol Cho 조 민 열
Denim artist
Minyeol Cho’s work is a narrative built upon accumulated and intertwined fabric fragments. Each layer of collected fabric holds traces and stains imbued with the passage of time, and as these marks overlap, they create new memories and landscapes. The repetitive process of decolorizing, attaching, and cutting denim fabric brings together chance and intention, adding depth to the composition. Small fragments come together to form an organic flow, exploring how everyday objects can be connected and transformed, revealing new possibilities and deeper meaning within the ordinary.
