Sejin Park
2013
Installation view
DOOSAN Gallery Seoul is pleased to present the solo exhibition of Sejin Park, an artist who presents the world we reside in through landscapes, from May 16th to June 13rd, 2013
Sejin Park focuses on people we encounter in our daily lives, and the shapes of spaces. The sceneries she presents begin with our vicinity, including ourselves, and leads onto faraway, indistinct places. Various landscapes that were too familiar within and therefore eluded our eyes, places that we cannot see and are thus visible only in imagination; these locales are created through spots and traces of paint.
The spaces built through the above process are tales of things that live and exist within, and also the way in which Park interacts with the world and understands herself. The spaces, unfolding before our eyes, are traces of life a given being has crafted. She leaves direct or at times miniscule clues to such traces in the landscapes, and shows how our lives are endlessly entangled with those who exist outside the painting.
At this exhibition, viewers will be able to find countless stories that had brushed through the layers of traces and spots accumulated in Sejin Park’s landscapes.
