Lee-Park Eun Young
The squirrel
Lee-Park Eun Young was born in South Korea. She has lived and worked in France since 2006 as an artist-researcher.
Her research focuses on the phenomena that produce creative acts in an improvised manner. This feeds her artistic work around living and individual identity. She thus works from memories, desire, animism, ritual in the registers of painting, performance and video.
This multiple artistic positioning crystallizes around a production of painted works that Magna Gallery Paris presents exclusively. The large-format canvases carry within them the very bright abstract images of an authentically Korean statement. Giving an essential place to the “5 elements”, precious materials and subtle drawing. These paintings are at the level of excellence that we expect from a generation of now confirmed contemporary Korean artists.
Lee-Park Eun Young's projects are selected in 2024 for numerous festivals, exhibitions, conferences and performances in France, such as Le Festival INACT in Strasbourg, Les Maisons Folles in Ronchin and La résidence #FOMO in Berlin.
In 2020, she won the Fondation Villa Seurat de Paris Prize for Contemporary Art. Her paintings have been nominated and collected by the Pallis'Art Prize (Conseil général de l'Eure) in 2015 and by the Grand Prix of the Saint-Grégoire Biennale in 2018. Lee-Park Eun Young's works are present in the most cutting-edge private collections and regularly enter public collections.
