British artist David Surman (b.1981) proposes to look beyond the hegemony of development and progress in the foreground of our lives. Looking at the crises of our time through an anthropomorphic lens, he asks us to move beyond the linear hierarchy separating human-centred history from the natural world, to discover the dynamic closeness of humanity and nature. Believing that the key to overcoming global environmental problems and climate change begins with a shift in perspective, away from the view of evolution as pure competition, he seeks to find fundamental answers in connection, not separation, and community, not isolation.

David Surman's artwork captures the viewer's attention with its energetic brushstrokes, vivid colors, and crisp textures. Cute but not overdone, humorous but not serious, his expressionistic paintings of the natural world are a perfect fit for THEO, a gallery that strives for diversity, as they carry a meaning that hasn't been shown before, yet still speak to the viewer's intuitive gaze.

THEO was established by two directors who have built their careers in the art markets of the UK and the US, bringing their international expertise and networks to the Korean art scene. The primary objective of Gallery THEO is to showcase the wide-ranging spectrum of Korean art and its richness. The gallery is dedicated to supporting young and gifted Korean artists, regardless of artistic genres, and identifying the commercial potential in their work. By providing a platform for these artists, the gallery aims to foster their growth and development within the rapidly evolving art ecosystem. In addition to promoting local artists, Gallery THEO actively seeks to encourage diversity and bridge cultural boundaries.
