Park Ido Korea, b. 1983

On the boundary between reality and fiction, Park Ido surveys the universal human life patterns or circumstances around them and investigates the function of painting corresponding to them. He is recently more interested in portraying plenty of senses and textures of natural subjects with various media based on his own narratives. His landscapes provide a particular impression of nuances led by his unique usage of specific materials including beeswax and soaked paper

Not only increasing a sense of abstraction, but Park Ido also embraces invisible factors, such as air density, humidity, and the intensity of radiation, in his practice to create a dreamlike ambience and depth by efficiently employing the layers caused by materialistic properties the dominant medium of this exhibition, wax. Besides, the actual thickness of the surface arouses a new inspiration by simulating tactile sensation and gives the fresh effect of perspective over the possibly monotonous plane.
