About the artist
Park Sungsu’s journey as an artist began in her early twenties, and she’s spent nearly three decades chasing what she calls “good” art—work that truly resonates, challenges and endures. From the first moment she dipped brush into ink, Park’s insatiable curiosity drove her to ask questions like: What makes a single gesture speak? How can color carry memory? Her breakthrough series, Bingo and Momo, playfully balance spontaneity and structure: bright forms tumble across the page, yet each shape feels deliberate, like a conversation unfolding between line and space. In The Hand, she invites us even closer—an intimate study of touch and connection rendered in whispered tones of charcoal and acrylic. Park’s studio practice is part ritual, part experiment. She listens to the grain of recycled paper, to charcoal’s quiet scrape, to acrylic washes unfolding like soft echoes. That deep material engagement yields richly layered compositions, where texture and tone evoke whole emotional landscapes. Curators praise her for balancing rigorous composition with expressive freedom—her canvases genuinely seem to breathe. Beyond visual elegance and narrative depth, Park’s commitment to sustainability—using eco-friendly pigments and reclaimed supports—adds an ethical dimension that resonates in today’s art world. Her pieces live in private collections and gallery shows alike, where they ignite conversations about memory, identity and the elemental forces that shape our lives. Never one to follow trends, Park charts her own path, constantly refining her personal language of line and color. As she expands into larger installations and mixed-media explorations, each new body of work reaffirms her place as a dynamic force in contemporary art—inviting you, the viewer, into an ongoing dialogue with art’s power to transform.
