KEUN YOUNG PARK
In booth S202, located in the south tent of the fair, Muriel Guépin Gallery will present an exhibition of two artists in the special CONVERSATIONS area of the fair, which offers a unique focus for exhibitors and visitors to explore new visual and conceptual dialogues between two artists.
Our conversation exhibition titled, Pixels- Construction/Destruction, presents the work of Chris Dorosz and Keun Young Park. Both Chris Dorosz's 3D paintings and Keun Young Park's torn and pasted photos touch upon the tenious nature and complexity of human physicality.
About Chris Dorosz suspended paint sculptures:
About Keun Young Park's torn and pasted photos on paper:
Keun Young Park reflects upon the flow of time, the birth and death of the body, the tangibility of the decay of form. She shreds her photographs by hands only to rebuild them, but with evidence of its previous destruction. Between the pasted pieces are thin, white, vein-like lines that reveal the texture of the paper's edge. Her collages have texture and the skin of her characters resembles bark of trees, scale of fishes or features of birds. Her bodies and portraits are fragile, yet have the presence and physicality that command attention. Often times she splices images of nature with her bodies, to emphasize the cyclical existence of all things, all nature melds into one another.
