			The White Way, Jieun Park

Jieun Park is an artist who paints city nightscapes with intense Chinese ink brushstroke. Her work depicts a night view of a city implicitly and meticulously camouflaged under a black ink plane. Her night city landscape paintings are of Seoul, New York, Paris, and Singapore, which reveal their identities through landmarks. As can be inferred here, travel is an important source of inspiration for the artist; Park's canvas contains the scenery, moment, and atmosphere she encountered during her travels. Her realistic depiction of night scenery within the intense frame of black ink makes the viewer feel the fleeting movement as if seeing an afterimage. And this energy allows the viewer to feel the momentary feeling of travel as if it were directly experienced or drawn from the other side of memory.
Jieun Park’s main medium is changing emotions. Bewildered by the staggering speed at which the world changes, Park tries to take a step back and contemplate the world, choosing travel as a means of contemplation. As she traveled the world anonymously, she felt various changes in her emotional state. And in the whirlpool of emotions, the artist found comfort in buildings, landscapes, roofs, and lights of the unchanging tacit night found in all corners of the world.
