David Heo is a Chicago-based artist whose work merges references to mythology, folklore, and contemporary life. Through painting and printmaking, he creates narrative compositions populated by symbolic animals and characters that reflect emotional and psychological states. Drawing from art history and storytelling traditions, Heo constructs scenes that blur the boundary between personal memory and universal myth.
Seeking a break from urban life, David Heo found calm in the green serenity of Camp Wandawega. Canoeing at sunrise and reflecting on personal relationships shifted his focus inward. Thinking of his partner while surrounded by vast nature sparked a narrative about connection and absence. His print blends mythic symbolism with intimate reflection, portraying emotional ties through layered imagery. The landscape becomes a stage for contemplation, transforming a quiet lakeside experience into a poetic meditation on who we carry with us, even when far from home.
