The expressionless figures in Measure the distance painted by Sun-Kyo Park explore duality across two paintings.

Painting from the perspective of an introvert, Park shows a reactive narrative between two actors who reach into each other's space. In the left-hand painting, the woman stares pointedly past the man’s directive hand.

‘We can all be kind and brave at the same time. We can all be cowardly and brave’.

Portrait of Sun-Kyo Park in front of one of his paintings

Sun-Kyo Park2 collaborationsSun-Kyo Park sees individual and collective life as deeply entwined. Using acrylic on canvas, he depicts figures against stark backgrounds in a graphic style, based on himself, his friends and strangers. Often sat cross-legged, they tell the story that everyone is born equal, but everyone is different. By repeating their poses, their unique qualities stand out like a game of spot the difference. In his recent work, he delves more into the idea of the 'nobody'. Faces are cropped, painted close-up and from the side. Park uses these non-specific characters to avoid depicting any singular emotion or social class. As such, he subverts traditions of portraiture which historically pays homage to the rich and powerful. Park flips this notion by documenting invented, nameless characters. Status and class are disregarded, and imagination takes prescience.
