Artist Statement
“Completed in 2006, Traces I & II serve as a monumental visual record of resilience and spiritual healing created during a period of profound personal trial. Composed of 50 interconnected panels, this installation transforms raw subconscious emotion, inner turmoil, and longing into a powerful abstract narrative through intuitive automatism and vibrant layerings of acrylic.”
Critical Commentary
“Jin Park’s monumental series Traces I & II demonstrates a highly sophisticated integration of intuitive automatism and refined texture. Through large-scale modular canvases, the work achieves a dynamic aesthetic depth that captures profound spiritual movement, sublimating historical traces and personal endurance into a compelling painterly world.”
