Looking into Park Kwangsoo’s paintings feels like peering into a dream submerged in water.
Forms exist, yet remain undefined.
Emotions rise—not through words, but as a quiet seepage through the image.

Figures in his works do not assert themselves with clarity. Instead, they dissolve at the edges—blending into forests, into water, into each other.
Nature and the human form permeate one another, forming an organic, fluid field of perception.

In the works featured in this Biennale, the image of water takes center stage. Everything floats, flows, and becomes immersed. The palette is dark, yet never heavy—creating an emotional depth that invites the viewer to slowly look inward, as if descending into the depths of their own consciousness.

Inspired by his time spent in the forest, Park uses layered ink washes and repeated brushwork to evoke the rhythms and quiet intensity of nature.
The result is not a landscape in the traditional sense, but a landscape of feeling.
Forgotten memories, inexplicable emotions, and unspoken states of mind begin to surface through image rather than language.

Aligned with the theme of this Biennale, Neighbors of Civilization – Somewhere over the Yellow Sea, Park’s work centers the periphery—not the fixed or clearly defined, but the hazy thresholds from which new sensibilities and stories emerge.

His paintings dwell in these soft boundaries—speaking not through form, but through sensation; not with speed, but with slowness.

Stand before his work,
and listen for the movement of feeling
as it begins to stir—quietly—within you.
