• Semi-imagined, semi-realistic landscapes become the setting for an exploration of cultural differences

    Jihye Park is a South Korean artist who currently lives and works in Stuttgart, Germany. Park is known for immersive and dreamlike landscapes that weave personal memories, emotions, and dreams to create scenes inspired by both natural and imagined spaces.

     

    Park depicts European landscapes through a foreign lens to explore themes of strangeness, distance, and comfort found in settings that are both nature-filled and deeply unfamiliar. The level of detail in Park's work creates a sense of illustration, but instead her practice often utilises acrylic on canvas painstakingly applied to achieve this effect.

    Park's semi-imagined, semi-realistic landscapes become the setting for an exploration of cultural differences as a South Korean woman in Germany. Taking landscapes and parks familiar both to her and those residing in the country she is working within, she reimagines them, shaped by personal memories as well as the atmosphere of the location itself.

     

    Park's work has been featured in exhibitions at the Museum Villa Rot (2023), in the Stadt Palais Museum für Stuttgart(2023) and in the gallery of the City of Esslingen Villa Merkel (2024), as well as being the recipient of the prestigious Kunstpreis der Kulturstiftung.
