A STUDY OF FEAR

Korean artist Seungyea Park – also known as Spunky Zoe – creates detailed mixed-media works that combine drawing and painting. Heavily stippled with a ball-point pen, the isolated figures centered on Park’s blank backgrounds resemble forms distorted by television static or gray, marble statues in a Gothic church — an apt summation of Park’s use of traditional techniques on edgy subject matter. Morbidly fascinated with the human face, she manipulates it like a pliable object, making it warped and often grotesque. Seungyea Park describes her work as a study of fear. The artist refers to the condition of ‘monstrousness’ — when people make enemies out of one another due to a fear of the unknown.
