This Collection by Artist Jieun Park Slowly Reveals Cities
Scratching away at the surface of reality, paintings by South Korean artist Jieun Park look as if she tore away at the canvas to reveal a city lying within. Each painting plays with space as brushstrokes seemingly uncover metropolises. Abstract strokes which look like they were created by a giant brush mar the surface of the canvas. Park illustrated complex and colorful cities within the sweeping strokes to create a surreal effect.
Park's metropolis paintings were inspired by her love of travel. As she traveled from city to city, Park created paintings that capture the emotions of her adventures. As a result, each work is themed after a specific city. The collection captures scenes from places such as Busan, Firenze and Lyon.
