Vio Choe feels energy through unconsciousness and tries to express it in his paintings. For him, painting is an unconscious language, a language of another dimension that cannot be expressed in words and vocabulary. Through paintings, the artist meets a dimension that has not been seen before and feels a communication with invisible energy. He wants to wake up the unconscious of the viewers in the way they smell rather than they see with their eyes, the window of consciousness.

His background explains the systematic logic of his work and philosophy based on science.

The artist was the first Asian to hold a solo exhibition at the German Heppenheim Art Association in 2017, and has participated in both domestic and international art fairs and shows including Miami Scope and Art Chicago, and in New York, Paris, London, and Hong Kong.
