Park Eun Sun: Nell'Infinito dell'Arte, Venice
Past exhibition
Overview
Park's sculptures are all united by a split: marble and granite are shaped, polished, then deconstructed, cracked and reassembled.
The Contini Art Gallery is pleased to present 'Nell'Infinito dell'Arte,' a solo exhibition by Korean-born sculptor Park Eun Sun at the Venice venue on Calle Larga XXII Marzo first and, later, at the gallery in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Acclaimed internationally for its sculptural production, Park Eun Sun creates works that combine his Eastern origins with his inspiration coming from the Western artistic tradition, all of which are characterized by a profoundly contemporary appearance. This exhibition features a rich selection of works, composed of different materials and sizes. They trace the evolution of the artist's process, beginning with the study of the material – either marble, granite or bronze – and finishing with the creation of sinuous and smooth geometric shaped sculptures, sustained by unusual yet graceful and harmonious balances. Park creates dynamic sculptures in which he works the material – especially the stone – by alternating two colors and stratifying them in an ascent movement, like in the case of his twisted and spiral-shaped columns which, developing in height, seem to pursue infinity, or with his chained spherical compositions that resemble the vital flow of DNA
