Ruth Cho is an emerging artist and printmaker and born in 1998. Ruth currently lives on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Her mother is Chinese, and her father is Korean, and both migrated and settled in Australia in the 1980s. Ruth graduated from the Queensland College of Art in 2018 with a major in Print Media, before returning shortly after to complete her Honours Degree in 2020. She utilises a variety of relief printing techniques, but linocut is used predominantly in her work. Her prints are heavily pictorial in style, relying on the graphic nature of the medium to convey her subject matter. She is influenced by modern Chinese woodcut prints of the 1930s and attempts to evoke the visual qualities and techniques of these prints. Throughout her undergraduate degree, she addressed the duality of her cultural identity through combining Australian and East-Asian imagery to create hybridised images.
