Information on the Exhibition

■ Exhibition

Selected for the [2025 Emerging Artists and Curators], Seoyeon Park’s solo exhibition The One Who Chases the Dot unfolds within a wuxia universe shaped by SF fantasy and Eastern narrative structures. Through this imagined world, the artist explores the underlying order and logic of human life, metaphorically suggesting a world as it ought to be.

At the same time, the exhibition presents a narrative that follows the question: What do we believe in, and where are we headed? It delves into doubts born from life’s contradictions, the mental process of trying to understand complex situations, and the beliefs held by vulnerable individuals as a psychological defense against anxiety.

■ Seoyeon Park

Seoyeon Park explores worlds of imagination and belief beyond reality, drawing from fictional narratives such as science fiction, wuxia, and fantasy. Primarily working in painting, her practice also includes drawing, installation, and animation.

She has held solo exhibitions at Art Space BOAN 1 (2025, Seoul), OCI Museum of Art (2023, Seoul), Indipress Gallery (2023, Seoul), and Cheongju Art Studio (2022, Cheongju). Her work has also been featured in numerous group exhibitions, including Cheonan Art Museum (2025, Cheonan), EMAP x Frieze Film (2023, Seoul), Seoul National University Museum of Art (2023, Seoul), Art Busan (2023, Busan), Gyeomjae Jeongseon Art Museum (2022, Seoul), Hwaseong Foundation for Culture (2022, Hwaseong), and Gallery 175 (2021, Seoul).

She was awarded the Cheonman Art Scholarship (2025) and the Grand Prize at the BNK Busan Bank Art Competition (2023). Her work has been supported by the Arts Council Korea (2023) and the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture (2024, 2022, 2021). In 2022, she was an artist-in-residence at the Cheongju Art Studio.
