Soyoung Park - Going nuts 

Boan Yeogwan 2010.03

"Going nuts," this naked title delivers a certain pleasure of frankness to us being familiar with packaging. A woman leaning one hand on her head is spinning. A way of carrying a message seems one-dimensional. Obviously she cut artistic descriptions daringly. However, delightful honesty driven from the structure is not everything of Soyoung Park's artworks.

Soyoung Park - Over and Over 

Kim Chong Young Museum 2007.05

A burning desire to ‘something new’ do not subside despite post-modernism paradigm covering the aura of modernism. Judging from the artists to still pursue any special things while criticizing that ‘novelty’ is the myth of modernism, art as the highest level of human productions and novelty seems inseparable relation after all. ‘Something of their own’ for today’s artists seeking differences looks often ambiguous or heterogeneous complexly, since the different results from the past in form, notion, and contents aren’t revolutionary like the historical period of modernism.

Sanghee Park - The City Night 

Cais Gallery 2009.08

The “stitch artist,” that is how Park Sang Hee is known. Her extraordinary attachment to the material has earned her this name. Park has researched and experimented with stitch cutting techniques for almost ten years. Over time, Park must have heard numerous questions about stitch work, but she does not seem to tire of them. The questions and curiosity about her work can be summarized into a single question: What does “stitch” mean to Park Sang Hee? From there flow more. Did Park work at a sign-making company in her youth? Is it a partiality towards a technique utilized before? A desire to make her work iconic? If those are not the reasons, perhaps she felt intimidated working with expensive materials? Even hazarding a guess, I am still left wondering: what is the draw of “stitch” work?

Sungnam Kim - A Ceremony for Healing and Renewal  

ART FACTORY 2007.09

Unlike conventional landscape, and mountain-and-water painting, portraying contemplative beauty, nature in Kim Sung-nam’s painting is furious. Twigs and leaves entangle and fill the canvas. They mash and disperse through rough brushwork, losing original form. In a summer scene, depicting fresh verdure, dense foliage flows down like vegetable juice. In a winter scene, bare trees expose black skeletons. Even a deserted house in a tranquil scene trembles with concealed tension. Kim’s most recent work forefronts nature dramatically, but it is far from an exaggerated hymn of praise to nature, or some exquisite depiction of beautiful subject matter on fine canvas. In his work, nature retains primitive energy: Without the usual sense of peace and blessing, this energy traces through injured and moaning animals, plants, and endangered humans.
