DOOSAN Gallery New York is pleased to present Park Kyung Ryul’s solo exhibition, Tense, from September 10 to October 17, 2020. Park was selected to be a part of the DOOSAN Residency New York program through an open call in 2019 and will present paintings along with an array of objects in this exhibition.

Refusing the idea of painting solely confined in a canvas, Park has been investigating ways to expand her art beyond its borders. She views the elements of painting—form, composition, each brush stroke, and lumps of paint—as independent objects and brings them into the exhibition space. The implication of this viewpoint is to tear down the hierarchy and narrative of painting and to even out the elements that structure the painting. Beyond merely expanding upon artistic mediums of expression, Park’s concept of ‘Sculptural Painting’ seeks “to expand the idea of looking at paintings."1) In that vein, Park’s works present the exhibition as a piece of painting by pushing the boundaries of a flat space of canvas to a physical space, offering a new perspective towards painting.
