Park was inspired by watching the wrapping and 
unwrapping of belongings and of people moving 
in and out. 

Through these landscape series, Park has implied 
that people have lost their place regardless of their 
willingness to move. In these series of pictures 
painted on the surfaces of cloth, the portrayed 
landscapes of life are distorted depending on how 
the cloth is wrapped or unwrapped. Perhaps it is 
inevitable that a picture painted on the form 
of the bundle looks distorted. Yet viewers’ minds 
are caught in the distorted picture. Is this because 
it testifies to our own distorted lives, just as does 
those unrestricted sites of redevelopment? 


Park employs the term history as He’s story, or a 
story told by him. Here, He indicates he and she, 
Park himself, and us all at the same time. Perhaps 
all of us are descendants of nomads who traveled 
constantly. His painting finds its suggestive power 
in the fact that its subject matters originated from 
real life and its surroundings. And at the same 
time, Park does not indulge his ego, instead 
allowing it to expand into a realm of commonality 
in which we all empathize.
