    REDSEA Gallery is pleased to present 'Wanderlust' a dazzling solo exhibition by Jieun Park.

     

    'Wanderlust' is a deeply personal and evocative series of paintings that delve into the concept of journey—both physical and psychological. Jieun Park masterfully intertwines contemporary art techniques with traditional Korean mediums, creating a visual dialogue that resonates with her passion for exploration and discovery!

    "I love to travel. Traveling to me is an act that simultaneously brings different emotions such as excitement and loneliness. My works express these various emotions and the moments that I physically experienced through the journey." 

     

    Each piece in the exhibition acts as a portal to a different time and place, inviting viewers to embark on a journey through their own memories and experiences. The midnight cityscapes in Park's work captures the transient nature of memory, offering a poignant reflection on the spaces we inhabit and the ones we have previously visited.

    The artist in action

    Park states how each new piece she works on is 'led by emotion', she uses Chinese ink and large, traditional calligraphy brushes to create flowing marks across the page, the ink is then spread, splattered and dropped on the surface of the paper. Once dry she carefully paints the nighttime cityscapes that bring the work to life from the iconic buildings to the twinkling lights and neon signs that illuminate our cities at night.

    In her second year of University, Park went on a two month trip to the Czech Republic. It was this trip that ignited her love for travel and to record and paint what she saw and felt in each new city.

     

    Park's passion for travel  has taken her all across the globe to from Hong Kong, Singapore, Florence, Tokyo, London and New York. Each of these cities feature in her paintings.
