SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Park Seo-bo was a major figure in Dansaekhwa, a field of investigations into monochrome painting developed in South Korea. His Écriture series, begun in 1967, makes repetition a means of concentration. In the early works, he drew pencil lines into a layer of paint that was still wet. The marks intersect and overlap, allowing the time needed to construct the surface to become visible.
His practice evolved through the introduction of hanji, traditional Korean paper, which he worked into ridges and grooves. Later compositions also incorporated brighter colours. The restraint of the finished image therefore does not erase either physical effort or changes in material. Park understood the painting as the site of a continuous practice, where gesture, duration and support maintain a precise relationship with the experience of the world.
