Park Seung- Soon

Life Space starts from nature. Every possible life and form create and go out of existence and the circulation of reformative nature just lies on her painting. Her paintings are very much the product of diligent hands and working with colors and brushes. They are full of the self-sufficiency of pure art, but they are not confined to any particular logic or concept. They are crafty and balanced in design and full of taste. The harmony and distinctiveness of abundant colors reflects the joy of life.
Park accepts the flatness of the medium, and yet she constantly changes it and erases it. In the sweet harmony of the colors one sees the gentle line of primitive animals and plants. Straightness and roundness are sensually entangled. Luxurious and yet restrained, the images are refined. Graffiti-like drawings upon a plane of astute colors, upon colors upon colors, geometric figures and leaves appear and taper off. They tell of trembling hands, of vibration, of scent. At once thoroughly calculating, they produce visual pleasure. And the result is works of art that are tasteful and classy.
Parks paintings combine the decorativeness of Matisse, the structure of Cezanne, and the collage of Braque. She embraces them all and branches out. Thus fulfilled, she keeps to the territory of painting. Fresh and simple, the structure is solid, and the beauty of the works renews the question regarding the new possibillities of painting. One is reminded of what Braque noted: the sense cannot be emulated or reproduced, for it is the seedling and the painting is the flower. Parks motif is nature and life. Her surface is filled with forms that allude to the natural growth and changes of living beings. Nature, reproduced in simple colors, lines and planes, is the nature she perceives and feels. The desire to express, to offer what her physical being has experienced is abundantly on display. She is in a constant self-reflection between what is felt and what is thought. She is in pursuit of the certainty of the senses. Her painting thus continue to evolve.
