Pink lemonade Painting

The colors show the artist’s indigenous identity working as an important component in the work. In order to give the impression of her brilliant and shining summer years the paint color named Dianthus Pink is used in the main and - unlike opaque colors and surfaces of previous works - transparent oil paint is emphasized along with drawing. The artist sensitively reacts to the weather, light, and temperature of the air for spontaneous and straight-forward expression. For example, she enjoys exploring colors continuously changing depending on the natural light. And the colors and lines created without a plan work together to imply the narrative of the artist’s inner feelings, and open the possibility of discovering her unconscious. This tells us of the summer remembered by Melody Park. This summer reminds of a natural wine drunk under the bright sunlight, and feeling like being underwater with the reflection of the light like in her imaginings and dreams. They are expressed in pink and blue colors through the transparent oil paints as if clear water is flowing. The drawings give the feeling of the refreshing summer energy like when a pink lemonade is in my hand and the clear and blue ocean is spread in front of my vacation chair, or like in a clear glass filled with lemon, water, and ice reflecting the blue sky of Spring.
