Sung-ho Choi explained

Sung Ho Choi (born 1954 in Seoul, Korea) is a Korean American mixed media artist based in Bergen County, New Jersey.[1] He was awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree by Hongik University in 1980, moving to the United States a year later. In 1984 he was awarded his Master of Fine Arts from the Pratt Institute. In 1990, he founded the SEORO Korean Cultural Network, a Korean American artists collective, and in 1996 was commissioned by Percent for Art to create an installation work. Choi has held solo exhibitions at University of Massachusetts Amherst,[2] Queens Museum of Art and the Kumho Museum of Art.[3] Choi's artwork reflects his background as an Asian American; having traveled to the United States due to South Korea's political instability, he "realized that the 'American dream' is not so easily achieved for a Korean immigrant," and made a series of works, including We the People (1990) and American Dream (1988-92) that reflected his feelings on being exposed to American culture and the intersection between cultures.
