Cho, Hui-Chin finished her Bachelor of Fine Art degree at Slade School of Fine Art in 2018. Having grown up in a multicultural country, she prefers to use an wide range of contemporary and vintage materials. Cho defines art as being the dialogue between her aesthetics, symbolism and the latent meaning. She views painting, sculpture, photography as being the same manifestation. Cho’s inspiration comes from iconography, and has the predilection for baby figures such as the Putto in Italy. A Buddhist, Cho believes in reincarnation, and therefore takes a ‘baby’ as an ambiguous creature in between life and death in a series of movements in her artworks. She leans towards the darkest humanities and the existence in between life and death.
