The colours in Park’s paintings are bright as if the original oil paint is applied directly from the tube. Usually when the original colour is used as-is, the colour comes out too garish and the result is cheap, but in Park’s case, the original colour results in a beautiful warmth as if out of a fairy tale world. The art work seems to say “please come” and holds out her hand. If one takes that hand, surely one can enter into the picture’s world. A world that one met somewhere a long time ago, a gentle world that one yearns for and that one keeps searching for in one’s dreams. The scenery spreads out in a way that touches the viewer’s heart in sweet yet mild way. It is not quite Naïve nor Märchen, but a scene that is a delight to the heart. This is what allows one to look at the painting for long periods of time without becoming tired.
The medium used is oil paint but it is not only on canvas but also on sa-paper, hemp and cannabis. Rather than painting, it would be more descriptive to say that Park labours to paint into the different surfaces using methods appropriate to each texture and thereby maximizes each individual quality. These methods were learned over many years.
Park uses his brush extensively, often needing three times the typical energy to paint.
Subjects include ports, flowers and paradise.
