Siwol Park solo exhibition Installation view at Space uooyoung ©Space uooyoungFrom October 4 to 22, Space uooyoung will present Siwol Park(b. 1993)’s solo exhibition. Park focuses on beautiful moments and memories and visualizes them. She collects moments of beauty in her own life and the lives of others and pays attention to where and how beauty is created. Her works are mainly paintings and drawings, and she also paints on glass.
The artist’s interest in beautiful moments and memories continues in this exhibition. However, in this exhibition, the artist focuses more specifically on a beautiful moment witnessed by her mother, a dream her mother had while pregnant with the artist. The artist depicts complex narratives and emotions derived from her mother’s beautiful scenes, which the artist cannot witness but is clearly connected to herself.
The works in the exhibition are about snow. The paintings emphasize snow-covered mountains and scenes of blizzards, while the thin lines drawn on glass evoke the appearance of frozen snow. According to the preface, the interest in snow is connected to the act of walking in the snow, tracking the traces of a beautiful moment of another person, specifically her mother.
