Kyu Hyung KimPerigee Gallery presents a solo exhibition 《Everyday a Good Day》 by Park Kyung Ryul, on view from March 7 to April 26.
Park Kyung Ryul has been working with the
fundamental question "What constitutes painting?" while reexamining
the methodologies established throughout the history of painting. Her approach
involves consciously excluding the unconscious representation of subjects or
the so-called harmonious composition of the canvas that has been absorbed and
embodied through formal art education.
Additionally, she explores the possibility
of achieving an object-like presence in painting through the painter's
brushwork, the materiality of paint, and the supporting canvas material.

Kyu Hyung KimThe exhibition 《Everyday a Good Day》, consisting of three works all titled “생활”
(Saeng-Hwal) can be viewed as a show that focuses on the act of painting itself
by bringing together the experiments she has been conducting sequentially until
now.
In this exhibition, ultimately, she
concentrates on an unburdened approach to painting that has shed all excess,
embracing simplicity rather than complexity. Based on this, Park Kyung Ryul's
paintings attempt to move one step closer to her intention of remaining purely
as the material itself that is finally generated by the movement of the brush
tip.
