    Family Cuddle, 2020, is a tender portrait of four figures enveloping one another that represents the artist’s own family and the importance of those relationships to a sense of belonging and the quest for the perfect home.  Influenced by his peripatetic existence, the artist often uses the human figure to sensitively explore the ways in which personal space inherently extends into the collective sphere.

    Born in 1962 in South Korea, Do Ho Suh currently lives and works in London. Suh’s work is included in numerous museum collections worldwide including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles and Tate, London, among many others. Suh represented Korea at the 49th Venice Biennale in 2001. In 2018, a film by the artist was commissioned by the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, as part of its presentation Robin Hood Gardens: A Ruin in Reverse at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition, in collaboration with La Biennale di Venezia. Suh was awarded the 2017 Ho-Am Prize, Korea’s equivalent to the Nobel Prize.
