David T. Cho is a painter based in Vancouver, BC.
Originally drawing inspiration from his love of MMA, Cho is known for his portraits of male fighters, boxers and wrestlers. These pieces usually present a close-up, almost geometrical portrayal of their raw emotion and facial distortions that are laid out like an abstracted, sculptural almost craggy terrain. It's interesting, based on this treatment, to compare his "Fighters" series with his more interesting foray into the mountainscapes of British Columbia.
