Dae-Cho Park Exhibition
Able Fine Art NY Gallery
This event has ended.
Able Fine Art NY Gallery is presenting recent installations by Park, Dae-Cho in his solo exhibition. Park, Dae-Cho’s memorable work features children with harboring disturbing imagery in their eyes by bringing attention to the innocence of a young soul in a jaded and ever-changing world full of devastation and heartache. This is a metaphor describing our lives and its delicate instability. He uses light boxes to illuminate the pieces from behind and emphasizes the details within the eyes with color variation and a focused vividness towards them. The muted duller light of the remainder of the work compliments the guiltless and naïve aura of children.
The exhibition presents his most recent work, titled “Desire.” Park similarly displays the proverbial children in the frame again but with the addition of powder painting on top of the images originate from Asian and Buddhist cultures. He also tripled and flipped the figures in the photographs to produce another off-putting depiction of the innocent children as we see twelve eyes within a frame in the midst of an organically produced gloomy landscape. There is a certain focus of gaze kept on the viewer as the children’s eyes stay locked on us in all the range of settings Park has placed them in.
