The exhibition Dummy Buddha presents the artist’s method of reconstructing traditional Korean and Japanese Buddhist paintings. Wunggyu Park has dealt with attitudes toward things that are horror or disgusting, so-called ‘negativity’ through the medium of Buddhist painting. In this exhibition, he reconstructs and redraws the parts that were affected by traditional Buddhist paintings in 6 formative perspectives(imitation, composition, form, texture, transformation, and application).

Most works exude a gloomy atmosphere like the exhibition title, Dummy Buddha. Some look like worms, while others look like monsters. The artist released 12 works drawn from 6 perspectives in 12 rooms of BOAN1942. The artist hopes these works will gain new life in the exhibition space, where the flow of time is captured.
