Carpenters Workshop Gallery is proud to officially announce its collaboration with Korean artist Wonmin Park. In the exhibition which will kick-off the new 2015-2016 cultural season at the gallery, Wonmin Park will present new works developed at the gallery’s research space: Carpenters Workshop | Roissy.

 

The pieces will be a continuation of the artist’s creative series ‘Haze’ in resin, covering a minimalist spectrum of grey, navy and white, inspired by Paris’ urban landscape.

 

The use of resin in Womin Park’s work produces a surreal, dream-like quality reminiscent of the soft sunbeams of a spring dawn or twilight. The artist himself says that he aims for a ‘sense of lightness and purity’ and that the works ‘engage with their surroundings’. This second element is something that drew the gallery to his work as Carpenters Workshop Gallery values the emotional affect of sculpture.

 

To create the works, Wonmin Park adds pigment to the moulds of the resin sections. This muted colouration means that the slabs maintain their translucency so that the colours overlap in the joints of the geometric structures he creates.
