Lola So

Lola So is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersections of memory, identity, and emotion through a blend of painting, sculpture, and installation. Drawing inspiration from her multicultural upbringing and experiences living between continents, So’s art reflects a deep engagement with themes of displacement and belonging. Her richly textured canvases frequently incorporate unconventional materials, layering fragments of fabric, handwritten notes, and found objects to evoke the complexity of personal and collective histories.

So received her formal training at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she honed her technical skills while experimenting with conceptual approaches. Since graduating, she has exhibited in solo and group shows in New York, Berlin, and Hong Kong, earning acclaim for her immersive installations that invite viewers into intimate, dreamlike environments. Her practice is equally informed by research into psychology and folklore, influences that emerge subtly in her visual language and narrative choices.

Through her evocative works, Lola So encourages audiences to contemplate the ways in which memory and imagination shape our understanding of self and place.
