Wonil Suh is an artist, illustrator, designer, and creative director. He has lived and worked in St. Louis, Chicago, Seoul, and most recently, New York City.

While working as a designer working for tech and financial firms such as IBM, Bloomberg, producing clean-cut corporate digital designs, his art style is the exact opposite—dark, raw, rough, and surreal, often done in dry media such as pencil, charcoal, and recently digital and mixed media with similar expressive style.

He draws inspirations from the arts of Hieronymus Bosch, Zdzislaw Beksinski, Kiki Smith, Käthe Kollwitz, and Francisco Goya, among many. His mixed media drawings often cover a wide range of subject matters that form a parallel or mirror reality that reflects his view of the world, often told through crystalized personal stories. His drawings often feature commonly recurring subjects including objects from childhood memories, graphic or typographic symbols, and organomechanic surfaces.  

He has shown his works in Barcelona, Seoul, Houston, and New York City.
