DURI PARK
"Essence of her work is basically adopting forest as image source to reveal the value of beings without depiction of each creature which comply with order of universe and to imply deep inside nature by forming layer of colors throughout several times of work"
- Yoon Ik-young
President of Korea Critics Association and Professor at Changwon National University
"The paintings are a hybrid of nature and synthesized man-made shapes. These paintings fill me with a buzz of saturated hues and different shapes and sizes, of intricate mark making ...There exists within the paintings a hidden infrastructure of cubism and impressionism, a feeling of modernism that is implemented throughout the paintings ... I am drawn to this passion of nature and physicality of the paint".
- Steve DeFrank
Painter/Professor at the School of Visual Arts, New York, NY
"Soaked with the intrinsic value of the work, the content is expressed with the visual beauty...the work flows with a stream of brilliant colors expressing waves of emotion...Duri Park's abstract and non-figurative visual language is not just an outcome of intellectual manipulation. It is more of refining and simplified non-representing language transformed from own experience accumulated upon the fact."
