Park Eun Sun Nell’infinito dell’Arte
After the success of "nell’Infinito dell’Arte", the solo show by the Korean sculptor #parkeunsun, held in our gallery in Venice, the Contini Art Gallery is pleased to present this exhibition in our gallery in #cortinadampezzo, located in the heart of the town.
Acclaimed internationally for its sculptural production, #parkeunsun creates works that combine his Eastern origins with his inspiration coming from the Western artistic tradition, all of which are characterized by a profoundly contemporary appearance.
This exhibition features a rich selection of works, composed of different materials and sizes. They trace the evolution of the artist's process, beginning with the study of the material – either marble, granite or bronze – and finishing with the creation of sinuous and smooth geometric shaped sculptures, sustained by unusual yet graceful and harmonious balances.
Park creates dynamic sculptures in which he works the material – especially the stone – by alternating two colors and stratifying them in an ascent movement, like in the case of his twisted and spiral-shaped columns which, developing in height, seem to pursue infinity, or with his chained spherical compositions that resemble the vital flow of DNA.
Therefore, his energetic artistic production demonstrates how skillful interweaving of lines and shapes, expansion of volumes and almost scientific technical precision can guarantee the creation of a very personal artistic language that is capable of communicating to the collective.
In fact, Park's message is universal: the artist investigates the very essence of the human being, the complexity of life and its experiences; this is evident in the distinctive element of all his creations -the wound.
Park's sculptures, in fact, are all united by a split: marble and granite are shaped, polished, then deconstructed, cracked and reassembled.
The "lacerations" flow down the fluid surfaces, like scars that symbolize suffering and the very essence of human experience, allowing the observer to enter the sensitive and expressive sphere of the artist.
An example of this is Colonna Infinita - Accrescimento I (2020), a pillar in white marble and gray epoxy that, whirling on itself, extends upwards with a supple and continuous movement that does not seem to want to stop.
The silky and cold surface is entirely covered by a fracture that creates chiaroscuro effects, shadows and lights reflections, juxtapositions of voids and solids, capturing the gaze and inviting the observer to investigate the inside, thus touching their most intimate and personal part.
Park’s predilection for stone leads to masterpieces that combine opposites: smoothness and fracture, harmony and imbalance, dynamism and geometry, as in the work Due Colonne (2014), made of black and gray marble. This sculpture starts with a solid column pedestal that undergoes a change going upwards by splitting itself into two arms, both of which are composed of spheres.
Duplicazione I, Duplicazione II, Duplicazione III (2021) are sculptural compositions of superimposed spheres that create a sort of a portal from which viewers can investigate an interior dimension, while Duplicazione continua (2019) presents itself as a vertical structure that, with its concatenation of globular shapes, seems to multiply indefinitely in a perpetual mutation that unfolds before the attentive eyes of the viewer.
Park Eun Sun presents his sculptures to the viewers as abstract, geometric, intangible figures, which reveal their universal message soon after, thanks to their delicate and engaging poetics and their contemporary and recognizable expressions of matter, form, composition and deconstruction, embodying the metaphor of living.
