Bongsang Cho
CONTEMPORARY SEMIPRECIOUS & ALTERNATIVE
Charlotte, NC
Bongsang Cho is a dreamer. His imagination brings into existence surrealistic objects that represent stars, flowers, galaxies. The way he sees the world, and the connections he forms, is expressed through the jewelry he makes. There is a poetry to each brooch which manages to communicate itself to the viewer. To realize his visions, Cho utilizes both traditional techniques, such as enameling, and modern technologies like laserwelding, which allows him to connect enameled panels without damaging the enamel.
