This work draws its motif from the episode “Metamorphoses – The Calydonian Boar Hunt” by Ovid. As Part 2 of this series, depicts the summoning scene of heroes from each continent who rise to confront the goddess.
 
The hero does not appear as an already completed being, but rather emerges through a process of summoning and formation. This very process reveals the fluidity of identity.
 
The monsters and heroes within the pictorial field present fragmented selves, resembling contemporary alter egos or avatars. They are not singular identities, but beings composed of multiple overlapping states, revealing new possibilities through processes of disassembly and recombination.
 
Rather than treating mythological figures as fixed subjects, this work seeks to present them as entities that are continuously dismantled and transformed. Such processes of transformation reveal identity not as a stable essence, but as a state of ‘becoming’, functioning as a visual experiment that explores the potential for new forms of existence.

Park Jung Hyuk’s third painting series, ‘Park’s Land’, unfolds around the idea of “transformation.” When beginning this body of work, the artist was interested in exploring a sense of possibility, and transformation became the theme through which that notion could be articulated. Here, transformation does not refer to a simple shift from A to B, as in familiar mythic or cinematic narratives.

Instead, it encompasses a broader spectrum of states—what something could become, how roles shift according to circumstance, and the latent conditions inherent within a subject.

Figures and forms in the paintings appear structurally dismantled, blurred, or distorted through layered brushwork. These visual disruptions are less about depicting physical change and more about revealing multiple potential states at once. 

Ultimately, ‘Park’s Land’ considers the conditions that allow transformation to occur rather than the moment of change itself. Through overlapping imagery and fluid gestures, the series presents a world defined not by what is changing, but by what can change—an expanded terrain for the artist’s ongoing exploration of painterly imagination.
