Park Seo-Bo

Écriture No.96-75

1975

Écriture No.96-75 is a meditative work by Korean Dansaekhwa master Park Seo-Bo, rendered in pencil and oil on canvas. Repetitive, rhythmic pencil lines are drawn into a softly toned oil surface, creating a hypnotic texture that speaks to the artist's philosophy of emptying the mind through disciplined, ritual mark-making. The work embodies a quiet tension between control and surrender, where the act of drawing itself becomes a form of meditative practice rooted in Eastern thought.
