Kyungmin Park Art

Kyungmin Park is a figurative ceramic sculpture drawing inspiration from childlike perspectives. Contrasting the darker emotions and restricted psyche of adulthood with the boundless consciousness of children, his sculptures confront the viewer with uncomfortable juxtapositions, encouraging reflection upon personal expectations and narratives. Park largely uses hand-building techniques to construct her figures out of porcelain, a material she prefers for its ability to contrast starkly with bright and colorful decoration. Originally from South Korea, she earned her MFA in Ceramics from the University of Georgia in 2012, and her BFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2008. Currently, Park is an Assistant Professor of 3D studio Art at Endicott College in Beverly, MA. Park was a long-term resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana, where she earned the 2014–15 Matsutani Fellowship and 2015–16 Windgate Fellowship.
