This event has ended.

DOOSAN Gallery New York presents "Gray Sky" by MeeNa Park. The exhibition features a painting and numerous drawings among her latest works.

Park sees the world as a simple color palettes and elements of anagram and dingbat. Anagram is a type of literary technique, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new phrase. Dingbat is a character used in computer industry, which is designated for symbolism. In Park's works, the anagram and dingbat appear as if they are meaningful symbol or terminology, however, relevance between the image and title is blurred. The title is created by insignificant letters, and it is converted to dingbats on the painting. By using anagram, title has imbued its significance and dingbats itself creates an image.

This exhibition is accompanied by more than ninety-pencil-drawings of sun using different types of graphite on children's coloring pages. In her drawings, it is worth taking note of the color which has a characteristic of its own 'colored' object, rather than 'color' as visual perception. Park has worked with other color scheme in the past, however, this is her first time of using gray from her color-palettes. Throughout this over all process, Park describes complexity of the contemporary art, furthermore, prevails a limitation of the existing communication system and linguistic barriers.

MeeNa Park was born in 1973 in Seoul, Korea. She received B.F.A in painting from Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI and M.F.A. in painting from Hunter College in New York, NY USA.
