Victoria Miro is delighted to present an exhibition of recent drawings by Do Ho Suh. Highlighting the foundational role and varied forms that drawing plays in Suh’s art, the exhibition features a range of his works on paper, including drawings completed in graphite, watercolour and pigment marker, as well as his unique ‘thread’ drawings, all completed over the past year.

Across his career, Do Ho Suh’s engagement with drawing has been as manifold as it has been consistent. From simple sketches in pencil and watercolour to complex ‘thread’ drawings, in which cotton thread is embedded in handmade paper – newly conceived on a small scale – this exhibition showcases his collaborative methodology, innovative techniques and experimental use of materials, foregrounding the expansive role of drawing in his art.

Both generative and reflective, for Suh drawing functions variously: as a point of inception for the germination of new ideas; as a way of progressing themes and concepts to become distinct bodies of work; as a means of harnessing the processes and techniques that are employed in his celebrated one-to-one scale architectural sculptures. Suh’s sketchbooks play a crucial role in shaping his work, serving as both laboratory and journal. Their pages offer a place to draw, explore and extrapolate while expanding and illustrating the philosophical, speculative and seemingly impossible ideas at play.
