Jihye Park

b. 1984, South Korea
Lives and works in Stuttgart (GER)

Jihye works with the tension between reality and the unreal. She strives for contentment in drawing places that radiate comfort while being overlooked by most. For her it’s the symbolization of satisfaction in the real world with a touch of surrealism because it might seem like a dream. She continues to challenge the boundaries of reality and dreams, allowing her distinctive fusion of comfort and surrealism to resonate with viewers.

After graduating at the Staatlichen Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart in 2022 she started her Master at the ABK Stuttgart as a Meisterschülerin in the Weißenhof-Programm, further deepening her artistic prowess. This educational experience has profoundly shaped her creative vision.

Jihye’s work was represented by the Sun-Contemporary Gallery in Seoul and has exhibited at art fairs like Singapur, Hongkong, Busan and Seoul. Together with BETTER GO SOUTH she exhibited in Stuttgart (2022), Berlin (2023), Madrid (2024) and during the Art Basel (2024).

In 2024 her work was exhibited at Museum Villa Rot, Kunstverein Wilhelmshöhe-Ettlingen, Stadtpalais-Museum Stuttgart and Kreissparkasse with her Solo-Show „Geräusch der Stille“.
