Documented Work

Much of Park's early work emerged in response to his own experiences at the time. After graduating from Hongik University, Park was very much on the social and art world periphery as both a draft dodger hiding under a new name (changed from Park Jae-hong), and ardent critic of the National Art Exhibition (Kukjeon for short). Park joined the Contemporary Artists Association (Hyeondae Misul Hyeohoe) in 1957, and became one of the main figures in the Korean Art Informel movement along with others in the association. The record is attributed to Park Seo-bo; it does not imply sole authorship of developments produced by a wider field or community.
