Art in Dongsan presents Steel Che (Youngkwan Choi)
Art in Dongsan, founded in 2018 with galleries in Seoul and Goyang, presents the metal works of Steel Che (Youngkwan Choi) at the LA Art Show 2025. This exhibition highlights Che's sculptural works, which repurpose industrial materials into art forms.
Youngkwan Choi, known professionally as Steel Che, has been creating metal sculptures for over three decades. Deeply influenced by his background in art education and his family's connection to the steel industry, his work bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary artistic expression.
The exhibition's centerpiece, "Steam Robot," demonstrates Che's mastery of steel manipulation. This large-scale sculpture, along with other works crafted from discarded metal, showcases Che's artistic philosophy of transforming industrial materials into thought-provoking art. His diverse career, which includes collaborations with Harley Davidson Korea, shapes his unique approach to sculpture.
Art in Dongsan’s Steel Che presentation at LA Art Show 2025 offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the intersection of industrial heritage and contemporary sculpture, showcasing the changing landscape of Korean art.
Coral Gallery presents Roberto Vivo
Coral Gallery, founded by Isabel Tassara in 2018 and based in Midtown, Miami, brings the work of Uruguayan artist Roberto Vivo to LA Art Show 2025. This presentation aligns with the gallery’s mission to showcase contemporary Latin American art and foster connections between Latin America, the United States, and Europe.
Born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1953, Roberto Vivo began his artistic career later in life, moving from a background in business administration to become a painter and sculptor. His work, which spans abstract painting and sculpture, employs a variety of materials including corten steel, bronze, granite, and aluminum.
Coral Gallery’s presentation at the LA Art Show will feature the sculptural works of Roberto Vivo, including the featured piece “The Totem of the Human Tribe.” This large-scale bronze sculpture, which debuted at the 2024 Venice Biennale, embodies Vivo’s signature style of fluid, organic forms that defy the rigidity of material. Measuring 77 x 95 inches, it embodies the artist’s vision of human unity and diversity, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between form, space, and global harmony.
Coral Gallery’s Roberto Vivo presentation at the 2025 LA Art Show offers visitors the opportunity to engage with contemporary Latin American sculpture that addresses themes of human connection and global understanding.
Snisarenko Gallery presents “She, Unbroken”
Snisarenko Gallery, a Los Angeles-based contemporary art space founded by Lia Snisarenko, brings a powerful and timely exhibition to LA Art Show 2025. “She, Unbroken” showcases the work of Ukrainian female artists who have lived through the experience of war, offering a profound exploration of resilience, identity, and transformation.
“She, Unbroken” showcases works by Ukrainian artists Inna Kharchuk, Anna Veriki, Liza Zhdanova, and Iryna Maksymova. Through diverse media, including painting, sculpture, and video art, they explore themes of displacement, memory, and resilience. Together, they offer a multifaceted view of the Ukrainian female experience during conflict, capturing both their struggles and their courage.
Visitors to the LA Art Show will have the opportunity to engage with these compelling narratives, gaining insight into the transformative power of art in the face of adversity. “She, Unbroken” not only showcases the talent of these Ukrainian artists, but also contributes to a broader dialogue about the role of art in processing trauma and preserving cultural identity.
