Art in Dongsan presents Steel Che (Youngkwan Choi)

Art in Dongsan, established in 2018 with galleries in Seoul and Goyang, presents the metalwork of Steel Che (Youngkwan Choi) at the LA Art Show 2025. This exhibition highlights Che's sculptural works, which repurpose industrial materials into artistic forms.

Youngkwan Choi, known professionally as Steel Che, has been creating metal sculptures for over three decades. His work, deeply influenced by his background in art education and his family's connection to the steel industry, 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, including collaborations with Harley Davidson Korea, informs his unique approach to sculpture.

Art in Dongsan's presentation of Steel Che at the LA Art Show 2025 offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the intersection of industrial heritage and contemporary sculpture, showcasing the evolving 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 the 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.

Roberto Vivo, born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1953, began his artistic career later in life, transitioning 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 Roberto Vivo's sculptural works, including the highlight piece "The Human Tribe Totem." This large-scale bronze sculpture, which debuted at the 2024 Venice Biennale, embodies Vivo's signature style of fluid, organic forms that challenge material rigidity. Standing at 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 presentation of Roberto Vivo at the LA Art Show 2025 offers visitors an 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 the LA Art Show 2025. "She, Unbroken" showcases the work of Ukrainian-born 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 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.
