About the Artwork
In Super Isolation – Red Horse, Chanoh Heo assembles a dreamlike battlefield of icons, avatars, and fragments—both sacred and absurd. A nude figure appears to drip-feed from a gaming console. Pikachu buzzes in the corner. A knight rides into an explosion of neon and noise. Across the canvas, references to internet culture, anime, combat, and digital overstimulation collide.
As with other works in the Super Isolation series, Heo collapses waking life and dream logic, exploring how perception—filtered through tech, trauma, and media—becomes an isolating force. Each object is symbol and static, pulling viewers into a world that feels intimate, hyper-saturated, and just out of reach.
About the Artist
Chanoh Heo (b. 1993, Busan, South Korea) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work shifts fluidly between painting, sculpture, video, and digital media. Raised amid rapid technological change from the 1990s to today, Heo embraces the transient, fractured nature of contemporary experience.
Currently based in Sacramento, CA, Heo’s practice explores the boundaries of communication, emotional isolation, and identity in digital and physical worlds. Across each series, he questions whether we can ever truly connect—or if we’re each living out a waking dream, shaped by sensation, memory, and media.
With bold, graphic brushwork and surreal narrative fragments, Heo’s works sit at the crossroads of expressionism, pop culture, and post-internet unease.
