The Japanese, during the period of Japan’s colonial rule over Korea, established reformatories in order to educate the Korean people to obey to their rule. These reform schools included the Mokpo school in Mokpo, Jeolla-do and Seongam School in Seongamdo Island, Ansan. Therein, the Koreans suffered from the poor facilities, a severe degree of human rights violations, exploitation of labor, and an isolation from the outside world under the name of “self-support.” Young boys, more than one could count, died of escape attempts and suffered from violence and malnutrition. Out of hunger, some died by mistaking poisonous mushrooms for edible herbal roots and tree bark. That place where so many young lives were sacrificed became today’s Gyeonggi Creation Center! And I am an artist who eats, sleeps, and works in the site of the old Seongam reform school that still bears the young boys’ smell of blood. Even skipping one meal makes me dizzy, weeding half an hour in the art farm makes my legs crumble, and just being prevented from what I want to do makes me complain. Then I imagine how the young boys could endure that time period. Seongam-dong is a land reclaimed from the sea by the young boys’ little hands that quarried stone to build a breakwater. Although this area is now home to diverse salt plants and beautiful reeds, it was once the site of a salt field, the very source of power with which a human trampled another and of the salt as valuable as gold produced by the numerous sacrificed children at the Seongam reform school in 1946. That is how I installed my work on the site of the old salt field. Even animals go hunting no more than they need. Then why do human beings, the lord of all creation, fret over storing food, land, and money which was invented for the sake of convenience after all. Perhaps, that is a mental illness. It has been only 70 years since the war ended. Let’s give us some more time.it was not enough time to overcome things anyway. The gone sea caused a fisherman to shed tears of blood, and the boat was abandoned. The fisherman must have gazed over the inland water without hope. The fisherman must have heaved a deep sigh, or rather wailed. There is nowhere in the country where the fisherman’s wailing did not reach! I set a boat afloat on that field of reeds that will take the people, who has been living as if they overcame or nothing happened.I floated a boat on that beds of reeds while imagining a coarse yet hopeful breath of a fisherman starting a day as well as a boat returning with a full load of fish. I float a fish-smelling boat fully loaded with the fishing net the fisherman newly repaired yesterday, where no war or Seongam reformatory or salt field exists, among the reeds.

Park Jun Sik: A Painter of Serene Landscapes

Park Jun Sik, born November 16, 1991, in Yongin, South Korea, is a contemporary Korean artist whose evocative paintings explore themes of tranquility and symbolic representation. While biographical details remain somewhat sparse—a testament to the evolving landscape of artistic recognition—his work speaks volumes about his dedication to capturing the essence of nature’s beauty and conveying profound emotional depth. ### Early Life & Artistic Beginnings Park Jun Sik's formative years were marked by a passion for music, nurtured during his school days where he joined the band as vocalist. He performed with ZE:A (Children of Empire) and Flower, covering popular Korean artists like Buzz, demonstrating an early aptitude for artistic expression beyond mere visual representation. This musical foundation undoubtedly instilled in him a sensitivity to rhythm and harmony—elements that would later permeate his painting style. Notably, he was named Hyung-sik by a Buddhist monk, reflecting the spiritual values of his family. ### Artistic Style & Influences Park Jun Sik’s artistic approach leans heavily toward Landscape Painting, characterized by minimalist compositions and muted color palettes. His canvases often depict serene vistas—rolling hills bathed in soft light, tranquil lakes mirroring the sky—creating an atmosphere of contemplative stillness. While specific influences remain elusive, it's plausible that he draws inspiration from Impressionist techniques, prioritizing capturing fleeting moments of sensory experience rather than striving for photographic realism. The subtle gradations of color and brushstrokes contribute to a sense of ethereal beauty, inviting viewers into a realm of quiet contemplation. ### Notable Works & Recognition Among his accomplishments is the acclaimed musical theatre production “Bonnie & Clyde,” where he showcased his versatility as an actor. He gained considerable fame through roles in dramas such as “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon,” “Happiness,” and “Doctor Slump,” cementing his position as a respected figure within Korean cinema. His portrayal of Ahn Min Hyuk in "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" garnered particular praise for its nuanced exploration of character psychology—a hallmark of his artistic sensibility. Furthermore, he has been recognized for his contributions to the arts community through awards and endorsements, reflecting the growing appreciation for his distinctive vision. ### Legacy & Future Directions Park Jun Sik’s contribution to Korean art lies in his ability to distill complex emotions into simple visual forms. His landscapes serve as portals to inner reflection, prompting viewers to consider themes of peace, solitude, and connection with the natural world. As he continues to develop his artistic practice, it will be fascinating to observe how Park Jun Sik expands upon his established style—perhaps incorporating new techniques or exploring bolder color palettes—while retaining the core values of serenity and symbolic storytelling that define his oeuvre.
