Exhibitions 《Sejin Park》, 2013.05.16 – 2013.06.13, DOOSAN Gallery DOOSAN Gallery Seoul is pleased to present the solo exhibition of Sejin Park, an artist who presents the world we reside in through landscapes, from May 16th to June 13rd, 2013. Sejin Park focuses on people we encounter in our daily lives, and the shapes of spaces. The sceneries she presents begin with our vicinity, including ourselves, and leads onto faraway, indistinct places. Various landscapes that were too familiar within and therefore eluded our eyes, places that we cannot see and are thus visible only in imagination; these locales are created through spots and traces of paint.
