Byoung Choon Park - Collected Landscape

Solo exhibition of South-Korean artist Byoung-Choon Park

“Collected landscape” shows eleven works, between paintings and installations of huge dimensions realized by the artist in the last five years mixing travel impressions, natural sights, revisited Google Earth’s areas, contemporary sensitivity and primordial memories with unusual and alienated points of view.

A huge installation measuring more than 25 meters in length, is exposed at the center of the itinerary and is accessible by the visitor, being conceived specifically for Ca’ Foscari spaces. The work is composed by more than 130 paper sheets with shan shui motif on them – a Chinese painting style dated 5th century, where the recurring subjects are mountains, rivers and waterfalls painted with brush and ink – hung to butcher hooks on steel pipes. It’s a sort of overall mirror of Korean nature and culture, deeply rooted in fifteen centuries of Oriental figurative tradition.
