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.”

Activities 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.

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.

Interpreting concealed structures of power through an uncanny sensibility, the works unsettle our habituated, disciplined mode

Criticisms 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.

Texts 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.
