Park Eun Sun: Oltre l’Infinito, Pontedera

After the great success of the exhibition on the Viareggio seafront, Bagno Alpemare in Forte dei Marmi and the 2022 edition of Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, the link between the great Korean sculptor Park Eun Sun (represented by the Contini Art Gallery) and the Tuscan territory is renewed with an exhibition of the artist's monumental artwork, which unfolds in the historic center of Pontedera, directed by Alberto Bartalini. The essence of life, stone and nature are the focus of this exhibition, which celebrates the great master's intimate poetics, skillful craftsmanship and contemporary, universal language. A key feature is the profoundly contemporary gesturality that emerges from his creations, skillfully shaped and polished into perfect geometric forms and all united by a split; marble and granite are shaped and polished, then split, cracked, reassembled and "wounded." And it is from this wound in the stone, a symbol of suffering and the very essence of experience, that allows the viewer to enter the sensitive and expressive sphere of the artist. The twisted columns and spherical forms of his "Infinite Columns" achieve refined balances by fusing in their essence the Eastern culture of origin and the Western culture of adoption of the artist; an exhibition that speaks to the collective and investigates the very essence of existence and man.
