Park Seo-Bo 朴栖甫
Écriture No. 10-72 描法10-72號
1972
Park Seo-Bo and Lee Ufan are key artists of Dansaekhwa—literally meaning ‘monochrome painting’—one of the most important postwar abstract painting movements. Dansaekhwa-associated works often require viewers to look closely at the interaction of materials, as well as consider the paintings’ relationship to themselves and the viewing space. Park’s monumental Écriture No. 10–72, part of a series that began in the late 1960s, also concerns materiality, yet it focuses on the tension between two primarily Western media: pencil and oil paint. Park inscribes pencil marks systematically along horizontal rows—as though writing a cursive Roman script—onto still-wet canvas, pushing and indenting the paint while obscuring the individual lines.
