A Canvas of Bold Brush Strokes
"Now Here" Painter Park Daa Won
Park Daa Won strokes her brush without reserve at a decisive moment allowing for no compromise. Her recent series <Now Here> obviously suggests the clues about what she has actually continued to pursue. Although it varies - rapid or slow, strong or soft - her brush stroke or her implicit display of power is very bold fundamentally. Here, no phenomenal world is hinted, and no world of the objects is not implicit in terms of the form organic or inorganic. So to speak, it is a kind of abstraction. Anyway, we need to make it clear here. That is, we can hardly approach her painting from the perspective of the abstraction in general. In her abstract paintings which cannot but be understood by intuition are contained her thought and meditation on universe and herself, nature and herself, or other people and herself. Thus, assuming that each of her abstract canvases has contained the figurative world she has long been concerned with in any way, we cannot but approach her paintings differently. We even are tense unconsciously, not knowing when a line or dot appears to imply such figurative world. Namely, it can be said that some situation that cannot be defined conclusively is always contained in her canvas. So, if we assume that Park Daa Won's <Now Here> series feature a space of moment when universe or nature or other people meet us, we will be pleased to see her paintings, while understanding her world of art naturally. In other words, we need to mobilize our intuition rather than logic to approach her paintings more effectively and earlier...............................................................................................................................................................
