Pink lemonade Painting

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 exhibition 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. The layers of transparent and opaque colors sometimes show forms in the abstract qualities of shape and animals like an elephant are even found at several corners, leaving possibilities for imagination and arousing curiosity. Empty spaces created between different surfaces and colors in the painting remind us of the spaces with the whitest and brightest light. The artist carefully examines subtle differences of colors, and experiments with the painting technique by using different background colors, methods of coloring, qualities of brushes, and support supplies for her diverse expression. As a result the paintings in this exhibition have several layers of colors with different density of oil paint and the texture of oil bars, emphasizing visual diversity in the paintings.
