Dressvanximo

Dressvanximo (b. Korea) is a contemporary artist whose practice explores the complexities of identity, belonging, and resilience. Since his debut solo exhibition in 2019, he has consistently produced new work each year, navigating both creative breakthroughs and the challenges of an art market that often deemed his work “unsellable” or “not for your living room.” Rather than discouraging him, such resistance has reinforced his artistic voice and sharpened his conviction.

His latest body of work, The Stranger, marks his first solo exhibition in New York. Spanning seven years of artistic struggle and growth, the series serves as a visual archive of personal experiences—capturing moments of joy, loss, and introspection. The exhibition reflects his position as an outsider, not only within the art world but also within his own cultural landscape.

For Dressvanximo, art is not merely a profession but a way of life. Through his work, he invites audiences to consider that in a world preoccupied with speed, what matters most is not pace but direction.
