Abstract image of landscape

In the procession of his art works, firstly he drips colorful paint on the canvas and covers it with white pigment of mixed media. After that, he scrapes the white surface to express various images. Those images make us feel 'vitality purified and integrated' through a process of dialectical development. It reminds us of the esthetical term ‘noble simplicity and quiet grandeur' by Johann J. Winckelmann, the art historian.
Actually if you take a look at Mr. Park's art works from a little distance it makes you feel the quiet vitality of oriental meditation by his all over painting of numerous lines that covers whole surface of the canvas.
As a result his art world is harmonized by the two factors. One is the sensuous vitality of colorful paint that lies under the surface as a lower basis. The other is the meditative image which get shown by scraping the white cover.
