# Painstaking Architectural Art This Do Ho Suh Exhibition Features Large-Scale Rubbings By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-09-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/do-ho-suh-exhibition References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/art/do-ho-suh-at-lehmann-maupin/) & [lehmannmaupin](http://www.lehmannmaupin.com/artists/do-ho-suh/press_release/0/artist_selected/1) This two-part Do Ho Suh exhibition extends the noted Korean artist's fascination with notions of home, displacement and identity into drawings. The artist's works on paper -- which include pencil illustrations, pen work, ink drawings, watercolor paintings and threat in addition to large-scale rubbings -- are being presented at Lehmann Maupin in New York. The focal point of this Do Ho Suh exhibition is the Rubbing/Loving Project, a series which required the artist to painstakingly resurrect physical spaces onto flat paper surfaces. To put together the project, Suh covered flat walls and three-dimensional fixtures of architectural sites with vellum, before rubbing the surfaces with pencil or graphite. The resulting rubbings create imprints of spaces that hold personal and cultural significance.
