Painting
Lives and Works in South Korea
Yeon Kyung Park’s atmospheric still-life paintings come from Park’s desire to capture life’s overlooked moments. Inspired by quiet moments like the “feeling I felt in the moment of dawn”, Park aims to “express those daily short moments of peacefulness”. Park’s distinct painting style uses tone-on-tone color and a light hand to soften the paint gestures into dreamy, soft-edged forms – both representing an object and the abstract idea of a memory of a given moment.
