《When Ero·Gro·Nonsense Combines Nonlinearly》, 2023.05.11 – 2023.05.31, Arting Gallery
From the 2023 work Park’s Land 27—where the veil encircling the Virgin Mary's head meets the protruding snout of a wolf placed squarely at the center—I begin to trace the artist’s aesthetic clues. The recent series titles, announced as periodical themes, are gathered under “Park’s Land.”

《Myth, Representation of the Era》, 2022.04.08 – 2022.04.26, Artertain
Before written history, the birth of a nation was often mythologized through stories that carried the desires, hopes, and survival instincts of the era. And within these myths, transformation is always present. In essence, for a new polity to emerge, something of the old had to shift. The newly formed state then needed a narrative that could encourage its people and affirm their will to live well.

《Drowsy Floating》, 2019.12.20 – 2020.01.21, Artertain
Seven billion… perhaps more. That is the current estimate of humanity’s population. Seven billion people inhabit this Earth. But do we even wonder exactly how many there are? For now, the most immediate reality is simply that I exist, living my life in this moment. Perhaps all that my life pursues—or is already pursuing—are the easiest, most accessible ways of living. Seven billion people coexist on Earth, each carving out territories, or systems.

Park Jung Hyuk Presents His Works at “ARTBUY”
Through a wide range of series and media, Park Jung Hyuk questions the fixed assumptions, habits of thought, and structural contradictions embedded in contemporary society. People often say that we see only as much as we know—but more precisely, we can see no more than what we already know. Viewers who interpret a work solely through familiar, internalized frameworks inevitably encounter the limits of their own vision. With bold and incisive approaches, Park aims to pose new questions about our era and its conditions, seeking to step outside the narrow role that society often imposes on artists.

Discovering New Local Artists and Encouraging Creative Spirit
Many artists reside in Goyang City. However, the support programs and infrastructure for these artists are far from satisfactory. Kim Chan-dong, director of the Arko Art Center, said, “Although the art museums and performance facilities are not poor compared to other regions, considering the number and level of resident artists, the environment is definitely inadequate.”

KMDC (Korea Mix Dog Contest) Project
This performance was presented in November 2004 at the 5th Gwangju Biennale, inside Exhibition Hall 5, and was documented throughout the exhibition period through video and photography. For this project, the artist created a fictional organization called KMDC (Korea Mix Dog Club) and carried it out in collaboration with two animal-welfare groups — 〈Areum-Pum〉 and 〈Bodumi〉, who work

Artistic World
Park Jung Hyuk explores multiple layers of visual art through various media, including painting, installation, and video. His work closely examines the structure, meaning, and affective power of images. His paintings recombine fragments of images extracted from mass media, strategically disrupting the viewer’s habitual sensory framework. Visual elements appro

Between the Fascination of Metamorphosis and the Drift of Imagery
A single phrase, like a single photogram, must be capable of delivering a rich range of visual stimuli within an unceasing flow of motion. (…) Every verb on every page appears in the present tense, as if all events were unfolding right before our eyes. New incidents rush in, and all distance between one and the next collapses into immediacy.

Statements
Same=Different
This work uses the phonetic and cosmological principles of Hangul’s invention, and its process of development into a global writing system through discrimination, contempt, hardship, and overcoming since its creation in the fifteenth century, together with Koi’s Law, which states that the size of an individual is determined by its environment, to show—through a found-footage technique—why Hangul has come to be positioned within global culture at this moment.

Flowing Memory: An Alternative Language on Disciplined Creativity
The fluttering silver foil you are looking at is a “troublesome meta-material” completely detached from the traditional solidity of canvas or hanji. In this exhibition, Park situates these chaotic, sensorial works within the mutable conditions of an alternative space in Mullae-dong. Interpreting concealed structures of power through an uncanny sensibility, the works unsettle our habituated, disciplined mode

The Temperature of the Senses
Artists create for many different reasons. Some work in order to convey a clearly defined message; others simply because they have something they want to say. Still others create because they feel a more ambiguous but equally compelling need—to draw, to make, to release something that must be let out.
