The Artist

PARK SANG GYU

An artist working in China. After witnessing artists who criticized or portrayed the Chinese government negatively being taken away and disappearing without a trace, the practice turned to resisting censorship, centralization, and control. Above all, a strong supporter of Bitcoin, which embodies the values of decentralization, freedom, sovereignty, and privacy.

Ceramic sculpture of dark snakes tangled into a single mound on a white plinth, several heads with pale eyes emerging outward.

Ecology 생태

· Ceramic · 30 × 30 × 25 cm

A figuration of individual beings bound into a single cluster. Each being moves on its own; some face outward, others are buried within. The tangled bodies hold one another up, forming a single decentralized ecology. No being is entirely separate from the structure, nor does any control it completely.

Glazed ceramic relief: a lone figure seen from behind, surrounded by a field of small anonymous faces. A second relief: the figure with hands bound behind its back, pressed into a cracked, scale-like surface. A third relief: the figure in a mottled green-grey field.

The Stranger 이방인

· Glazed ceramic · 30 × 20 cm

The figure at the center is surrounded by a crowd, while the individual figures around it emerge from the coarse surface, bound into a single anonymized system. The work asks how society, in the name of order, sustains itself by naming as abnormal and excluding those who do not belong to its logic.
