“ORANGE RHYTHM”
NINA PARK
April 13 - May 6, 2023
VLAB is pleased to present the solo exhibition "ORANGE RHYTHM" featuring Nina Park’s new creations that have never been presented before in a show. It will also be the first collaboration between Nina Park and VLAB gallery in Madrid.
Nina Park is a contemporary painter and illustrator based in London. After earning a bachelor's degree in Illustration and Animation at Kingston University in London, she took part in several exhibitions. She has also been involved in a number of collaborations with the local government, the financial industry, fashion companies and other organizations. Since 2022 Park has been more focused on painting rather than on illustration and has created unique compositions of her own universe with vibrant colors and lots of humour. Park is like a storyteller who loves to talk to the viewer through her paintings. As a consequence of hardship, the inspiration for her works comes mainly from her own story.
At some point Park realized that most of young people live with fear of the future, anguished about uncertainty. This made her feel that she was no longer the only one experiencing this anxiety, so she began to explore the seedier side of youth and how they face life.
From the beginning, her artwork attracted the interest of many galleries in London because of the pop style in her paintings. She is now an international artist that has been exhibiting all over the world.
Nina likes to capture the tiny things of everyday life to portray her views on canvas. Park creates heartfelt images by drawing inspiration from the changing seasons as well as from the outfits of street people and their animal companions.
As Nina says “There are no major events in my daily life, but the different outfits of people and the colors of the street depend on the temperature in different seasons. So, I capture these tiny things and express my view on the canvas. These details are a trivial matter, but they can be my own special history through ways of my own. This is the way that I make my ordinary life special and I love myself”.
The exhibition "ORANGE RHYTHM" will be on view at VLAB until May 6th, 2023.
