.....Magical pictures, Young Korean Kyung-A Park at the Galerie im Morgner-Haus. SOEST: After only five weeks, Dr Thomas Oyen presents his second exhibition in his Galerie, now with works by a young Asian artist Kyung-A Park. Once again the exhibition was an experience for the eyes and ears. Irmgard Himstedt, a flautist and percussionist from Cologne, opened the proceedings. She improvised, making two instruments react to the pictures, her own voice and almost in parallel the flute, and made both harmonious.

..... "Unobtrusive, poetic and full of secrets" The highlight of the celebration was the speech by Udo Scheel. His introduction to the artist¡¯s work was a guided tour of the latest painting based on the greats from the Renaissance to today. Scheel, emeritus rector of the Kunstakademie Munster, spoke for the refined work of the artist. It was "Unimposing, poetic and full of secrets, far from any spectacle".



.....Kyung-A Park, born in 1974, was 20 years old when she started her studies in her native South Korea. In 1998 she came to Germany because she felt drawn to the £åxpressionists and wanted to experience the inheritance of this period at a German university. In 2001 she became Udo Scheel's master student. Under his tutelage she found a way out of concrete painting to abstract landscapes.

..... "Sensitive picture landscapes" is how her teacher describes her work. The motive of landscape painting is her main subject, this is where she feels at home, she says. Her passion is devoted to the painting process. High quality pictures are created. The peace and calm that radiates from them makes the observer catch his breath. He looks for ways into the pictures and discovers himself in them.



.....This process of seeing is reinforced through windows or mirrors which can be found in almost all 30 of the exhibits. The frames of this imaginary window seems to restrict the represented space, giving it substance and stability. Simultaneously, the window indicates a world view, an inside and an outside, a reflection of oneself. The oil picture "although with me I" seems to unite all this. A monochrome brown space on the lower edge leads the observer across a suggestive floor into the picture. Large high glass walls overhang it, give space and sight over the landscape in which two trees are standing in a diagonal.

.....Snow is lying on the fields and large amounts of snow cover the branches of the two trees with lightness and spiralling brushstrokes. Single green areas carefully appear but the winter does not seem to be defeated. The tenderness and transparency of the picture motives is reinforced in many of the other, also large-format pictures. An increasingly veiled image is produced which in turn increases the reflexivity. Kyung-A Park has learnt her craft. In this, her first single exhibition, she knows how to entrance the observer, but "the pictures are not suitable for pure decoration!" (Scheel). - Source: Soester Anzeiger



.....Sensitive picture landscapes, The pictures by Kyung-A Park are unobtrusive, poetic and full of secrets, far from any spectacle. A magic lives here, a silence and melancholy which transfers to the observer. The artist's calm, sweeping view and her contemplative tarrying on the objects and appearances of her interest melt landscapes and interiors into "inner pictures".

.....Sometimes, painted reflexes indicate window panes which appear between the painter and her subject, sometimes translucent materials move through the picture spaces, through the famous "open window" of the renaissance painters, we look at a horizon where our views unite in a flight point.

.....The painter Kyung-A Park uses the frame of a window as a stabilising element, her location and her view, however, are unstable and changing. She suggests a gently moving flow between perception and imagination, between waking and dreaming, between experiencing, remembering and reflection.



.....Her pictures are not representations or views, they change between time and space, between movement and being still, between light and dark, between pregnancy and diffusion. In the static framework of the picture, reflexes, plays and shimmering, transparent materials obtain a picturesque life of their own. The artist¡¯s sensitivity and mood create the "romantic" atmosphere of these pictures.

..... The authenticity and quality of the pictures depend on the harmony of personal sensitivity and artistic £åxpression. In the picture "Du bist", 100x130 cm, 2004, vertical brushstrokes mark a glass partition wall through which the viewer sees a green, snow-bedecked treetop in the diffuse grey light. A wonderful picture and a symbol of tender but essential magic.



.....Kyung-A Park¡¯s pictures are highly reflexive paintings. She does justice to her artistic claim to the "general production" of pictures through a pronounced awareness of the problem and through convincing solutions in artistic experiment. In this way she combines figure and background through painted passages to unity, she balances spatial ambivalence, finds painted connections between disparate elements: between form and resolution, between static and movement, between separation and merger.

.....The conditions and laws of painting are always readable. This results in restructuring, reworking, metamorphoses and ¡°mispaintings¡± which always return the complex picture make-up into the homogeneous spaces. At the end, a picture is created which convinces. You have to take time for Kyung-A Park¡¯s "sensitive picture landscapes". You can lose yourself in them and simultaneously find yourself. - Professor Udo Scheel
