Koh Sang Woo

Koh Sang Woo's vibrant photographs explore an idealised version of pure love, uncorrupted by power or greed. Working with real couples or carefully chosen individuals to document their relationships, he paints onto their bodies before taking their portraits as part of a theatrical performance. By reversing the colour and light in the exposure, he gives his photographs an unmistakeable visual electricity and intense emotional charge - hyper-real romance for the IT age. Koh Sang Woo has exhibited widely worldwide and was listed in 2013 as one the 100 most important Korean contemporary artists.
