Rim Park
Overview
Rim Park, Sila, 2025 (detail)
RIM PARK (b. 1998, South Korea) lives and works in Seoul. She holds a BFA in Painting from Hongik University, Seoul (2022). Park’s work captures her encounters with unspoiled, often remote landscapes, where she draws from her fieldwork to reinterpret nature’s forms in intricate, layered compositions.
By incorporating found organic elements such as moss, tree roots, and pigments from the field, Park’s paintings and sculptures explore the delicate, ambiguous existence of beings seemingly detached from human interference, as if suspended in a timeless realm. In her practice, Park blends traditional Korean materials with pigments derived from nature, forging a dialogue between organic decomposition and synthetic preservation. Her work invites contemplation on the passive yet resilient nature of these beings, who coexist without imposing themselves and are subject to elemental forces like temperature, chance, and the flux of time. This reflective approach often emerges through her techniques of deconstruction and reassembly, where the anticipated imperfections foster alternative formal and symbolic possibilities.
