Park Eunsun, as an artist, primarily engages in works where he breaks and stacks marble slabs of two different colors and alternately or repetitively constructs unit structures in cylinders or spheres that extend endlessly toward the sky. His geometric and abstract sculptures, reaching infinitely towards the sky, demonstrate humanity’s boundless potential. Simultaneously, through the cracks in the marble slabs, his works symbolize the inner wounds of the human condition. By alternating and stacking these fractured marble slabs, Park Eunsun expresses the process of healing and reconciliation, where wounded hearts come together.

The cracks in Park Eun-sun's artworks embody his distinctive sculptural characteristic and are the central philosophy behind his creations. This is precisely why his sculptures have captivated the hearts of people worldwide. While Western sculptors often aimed to represent marble in its natural state as a solid mass, Park Eunsun's unique approach involves cutting and stacking layers of marble. These cracks also serve as the channels that touch our hearts. By intentionally breaking the strong marble and juxtaposing rough and smooth stones and stones of different colors within a single artwork, Park Eunsun's creations reflect the artist's experiences of striving fiercely to survive in a foreign country.

It is said that art reaches a higher level of completeness when there is a harmonious unity between form and ideology, and when the spirit idealizes nature and creates a faithful image of itself. Park Eunsun's works, which evoke images of ancient Egyptian obelisks or traditional stone towers in Korea, transcend time and cultural boundaries, achieving the perfect harmony between the ancient and the modern, the East and the West. These works have been born beautiful masterpieces, representing the artist perfectly internally and externally.

Park Eunsun's new work, Colonna Infinita, features a lighting installation composed of various colored marble beads, forming a pillar-shaped light artwork. With the subtitle diffusion, these works aim to convey a message of hope, particularly during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. They symbolize the infinite hope that lies ahead, offering us a message of boundless optimism for the future.

The upcoming Park Eunsun exhibition at Stellar Gallery is the artist's first solo exhibition in five years in South Korea. It serves as a celebration of the artist's world, past achievements, and honors. The exhibition will showcase Park Eunsun's works, which contain messages of infinite human potential, unity, and hope.
