Soyoung S. Park

Artist Park So-young was born in Seoul, South Korea, and received herand Master's degrees in Painting from Hongik University. Actively working in Korea, she has held six solo exhibitions and participated in over 50 group exhibitions. After marrying and moving to the United States, she has consistently held 14 solo and group exhibitions while traveling between the two countries, including her solo exhibition at Artsy. Centering on the theme of "relationships" deeply embedded in her work, she explores the cyclical nature of "disconnection and healing." In particular, as a married woman and an immigrant, she incorporates new perspectives into her art, viewed from various viewpoints regarding her identity.

      In the realm of relationships, there is a constant cycle of loss and recovery, consolation and desolation, Severance and persistence. I have long been drawn to exploring the complexities of “relationships,” seeking visual forms to express those fleeting, inspired moments that arise from them. Sometimes these take the shape of phenomenological images within space, other times as iconic, almost literal symbols, or even as the figure of a child—representing lost time.

Though the images I’ve created have been inconsistent in form, they have all stemmed from the same thematic core: relationships.
