october 06, 2023 - Galleria d'Arte Contini
Contini Art Gallery | Park Eun Sun | PRIVATE TOUR | Palazzo Litta - Milano | October 13th, 2023 | 12 pm
On the occasion of the celebrations for the anniversary of the Foundation of Korea, the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea organizes the exhibition Il Ritmo della Pietra, curated by Leonardo Contini and in collaboration with Galleria d’Arte Contini, hosting the masterpieces of #parkeunsun in the eighteenthcentury halls of Palazzo Litta in Milan, prestigious headquarters of the Ministry of Culture for Lombardy.
The Korean master, who moved to Italy 30 years ago, is in fact living proof of the depth of the bonds between the two nations, which are further consolidating under the egida of the universal language of art.
The work of Park combines his oriental culture of origin with the Western one of adoption, giving life toa strongly iconic sculpture, which through the use of fluid and linear geometries aims to convey the very essence of existence.
Il Ritmo della Pietra will showcase both works in polychrome marble and granite, as well as in bronze. The sculptures and installations, with their geometry and sinuosity - which are a signature of Park’s creations - blend, almost in a dialogue of opposites, with the baroque rooms of Palazzo Litta. The sculptor’s work also responds to a very specific challenge: that of using an ancient material to give life to contemporary shapes.
The exhibition is paced, across the rooms, by the creations of the master in an alternating sequence of colors and plastic shapes, also reflected in the “luminous” creations that characterize the latter part of Park’s production, begun during the pandemic.
With these innovative creations, the master highlights new technological possibilities to support his creative genius: marble spheres emptied and filled with light, which give a new voice to the classic and elegant eternity of the infinite nuances of marble.
The exhibition is housed in the rooms of Palazzo Litta on October 13th - 18th and is to be intended as an installation in itself, beyond the works it showcases. For a limited number of days, the show will transcend time and space, putting in dialogue great #contemporaryart with the splendor of the Baroque, and Korean art with Italian culture, thanks to the harmonious creations of #parkeunsun.
The Consul General of the Republic of Korea, Kang Hyung Shik, expressed his wishes that the exhibition Il Ritmo della Pietra, hosted at the prestigious Regional Headquarters of the Ministry of Culture, would enhance the understanding of the beauty and value of Korean art in Italy, representing an opportunity to further expand the friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
