Artist Statements

作家の言葉

I think the artwork is a special language for an artist to express
his thought and sensibility. As for me, metal is the most suitableand familiar material to express my thought and sensibility
because I majored in metal art & design at the university.
So metal could become my unique tool that would draw lines
and make images instead of pencil or brush, and I always try toreflect my inspiration into various metallic materials.
Basically, metal looks hard and feels cold, but on the other hand,
it also has different characteristics that are gentle and delicate.
Similar to these characteristics of metal, there are a lot ofprecious things with its intrinsic beauty in nature but people
cannot recognize them at a glance. Hidden beauty can be foundafter long observation and deep contemplation, so it’s more
precious and impressive. When I get to find out and feel such
beauties of nature, they fascinate and inspire me so that I cancreate something to express that beauty as an artist. I’d like toconvey to people the warm and soft feeling of the metal withdelicate shapes and richer colors. And I hope people can hear
what I talk through artworks and feel the beautiful sensibility
together with me.

アーティストにとって作品は自身の考えや感性を表現出来る特別な言葉であると言うことが出来る。金属工芸を専攻した私にとっては金属は私の考えと感性を表現する為に最も習熟しており最も適した材料である。スチール、ステンレススチール、アルミニウムなど多様な素材を作品のテーマ技法に合わせて選択し作品表現へと結びつけている。金属は鉛筆の代わりに線を引き、筆の代わりにイメージを作り出しテーマを表現する。
一般的に金属は荒く冷たいイメージを持たれているが、その中にはやわらかさと繊細さが存在する。我々の生活の中にも一目で簡単に識別できない内面の大切な美しさが存在する。内面に隠された美しさは長時間の観察と思索の後に現れるものなので、より一層感動的であり大切に思える。日常生活の中でのこのような表に現れていない美を発見した時、私はそれに魅了され、インスピレーションを得てその感性を作品として表現する。私の作品の中で表に現れない美が繊細な形と豊かな色感で表現された金属を通じて、やわらかく温かい感性を感じて頂ける事を願っている。そして多くの人が作品を通して話しかけている私の言葉と感性を受け止め対話してくれることを望んでいる。

-有限会社サイト二番町"A perfect harmony emerges from Yongho Park’s delicate artworks. A constant source of inspiration to him,
he beautifies nature adding a contemporary touch, manipulating rough materials using a skillful and delicate technique.""I have been transported by Yongho Park’s abstract compositions, full of delicacy and in which nature’s inspiration is the key;
his refined lines, soft colors and use of space all reflect the importance found in the balance of substance and absence."- By gallery Carré d’artistes“Critically acclaimed South Korean artist Yongho Park is set to become a big hit amongst artists on the national stage.
His abstract landscapes, floral subjects, odes to nature and tradition, are a great success internationally.
Acrylic, ink, color, all the possible mediums are used in these resolutely contemporary botanical compositions,which integrate parts cut out of metal (steel, aluminum) to become three dimensional and design.”- By journalist Christophe Belhomme

Artwork Description

YongHo Park is a metal artist who applies the technique of metal tothe sensibility of painting and made a new genre of three-dimensional
painting. For this reason, his artworks have unique characteristics
that are differentiated from normal painting in many ways. In all of
his artworks, metal is used as a main material and it’s also the primarymeans of expression.
So depending on the subject matter, he chooses the most appropriate
one out of various kinds of metals (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.).
At the same time, he makes wood panel and adds texture and color
onto it, and the metal work is finally combined with this panel.
Therefore, his artworks have distinctive matière, three-dimensional
effects, and a sense of space that came from the harmony of metaland other materials such as wood and plaster.
