‘Drawing is my way of working through the psychology of my practice. A lot of these works are meditations on ideas that have followed me throughout my life – they speak to the core of my work and thinking. And in some cases, they are more literal meditations – drawing is very bound up in breathing and chanting practices for me.’ – Do Ho Suh.

Victoria Miro will present an exhibition of recent drawings by Do Ho Suh in its Venice gallery. The exhibition will be featured from May to June. This will coincide with Tate’s show opening on 1st May.

Throughout his career, Do Ho Suh has explored drawing in a wide variety of forms, maintaining a consistent dedication to the practice. Ranging from delicate pencil and watercolour sketches to intricate ‘thread’ drawings, where cotton thread is embedded into handmade paper, his work demonstrates both innovation and experimentation.

This exhibition at Victoria Miro will highlight his collaborative approach, inventive techniques, and adventurous use of materials, emphasising the central and evolving role that drawing plays in his artistic practice.

Tate will stage a major exhibition by the internationally acclaimed artist, inviting visitors to explore his immersive world of large-scale installations, sculptures, video works, and drawings.

At the heart of Suh’s practice lies a profound investigation into the meaning of home. Is home a physical place, a fleeting feeling, or an evolving idea? Through his work, Suh poses timely and universal questions about memory, identity, belonging, and how we navigate and occupy the spaces around us.

From intricate architectural fabric structures to delicate thread drawings, the exhibition reflects the full breadth of Suh’s experimental and deeply personal approach—one that continues to resonate across cultures and borders.
