¹Ú¼®¿ì SUKU PARK
2005.12.6 - 12.31
TONG-IN Gallery New York
Suku Park, inspired by the grandeur of nature in Scandinavia for almost 30 years, has presented works familiar to everyone and comfortable in their resemblance to the sky and the lake. Green trees, soils soaked with warm lights, dazzling sunlight shining upon the earth capped with snow, and the deep-blue heavens gleamed so wonderfully upon the crystalline lake - Park's work seems to encapsulate this natural scenery variously turning with time and by the weather. Park's wares look like containing water waves in freely flowing lines, resembling the contours of a map and the pellucid, placidly undulating lake. Park leant nature first before leaning ceramics in Scandinavia. Park mainly applied a wide variety of pastel shades to his early pieces, but nowadays focuses primarily on exuding extremely rough, intensive color effects and on creating porcelains as white as snow. Park¡¯s work, along with its practicality and sensual modeling quality, expresses considerable exhilaration often discovered in Korean beauty and appears based on the idea of pragmatism and humanism peculiar to Scandinavia. Suku Park always seeks to incorporate himself into his own pieces, endlessly posing questions on the meaning of his work. Suku Park, born in 1947, graduated from Seoul National University with a BFA in applied art. After studying with a MFA at Konstfackskolan in Sweden (College of Arts, Crafts and Design) for two years from 1974, Park was active in Sweden. Employed in 1984 as the art director of Pentik, a living crafts manufacturer, Park moved to Finland and continued his activities there. He worked as a commissioner of the 1st World Ceramic Biennale 2001 Korea. After returning to Korea in 2002, Park has served as an artist and educator. Park has so far presented his artworks to over fifty solo exhibits and a number of group shows held in Korea, Scandinavia, Japan and other European countries. Park¡¯s pieces are now included in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), the National Museum of Sweden (Stockholm), National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea (Seoul), Czech Museum of Decorative Art(Prague) and Royal Ontario Museum of Art(Toronto).
