Ice world of warmth

The encounter of green plants with ice sculpture, depicted in oil paintings: Sung Min Park made that happen.




Ice capsules by Park, Sung Min: a memory storage for three stages of material

« For those who first met Park, Sung Min's work may misunderstand as Park's art is cold due to the preconception that ice means cold. However, you may not spend much time to realize Park's ice has warm energy if you pay more attention and give some affection to his work.
