Jongwook Park, a settler artist from South Korea, approaches drawing as a fundamental tool of his practice. By using it as his voice, while processing pictorial elements from various cultural references such as Korean Folk paintings and graphic novels, he attempts to discover the unique treatment of line drawing for his works within flat, dimensional, and moving formats. His work has been presented in exhibitions and publications in Canada, the United States, Finland, South Korea, and Japan. He will have a solo exhibition at the Maison de la culture de Pointe-aux-Trembles in March 2023, in Montreal. His project Breathing Words is about developing handcrafting skills with clay to create a series of ceramic sculptures that will be covered with scattered words and imagery. Through symbolic forms, he wants to explore conditions of emotional displacement and create a surreal landscape to evade negative feelings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":13899,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"role":[155,378,378],"cities":[137],"data_type":[141],"joint_mentorship":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13816","1":"artist","2":"type-artist","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","5":"hentry","6":"artists-22-23","7":"program-alliance-en","8":"discipline-arts-visuels-en","9":"discipline-visual-arts","10":"role-artist","11":"role-artiste-en","13":"cities-montreal-en","14":"data_type-artist"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
