AB - This essay aims to address how the paintings and drawings of MeeNa Park (b. 1973) deepen and expand the practices of contemporary Korean painting as methodology. Park’s paintings redefine the meaning of colors as the outcome of pigment industry and manufacture. For example, Orange Paintings (2002–2003) consists of stipes of different colors from different pigments, the names of which include ‘orange.’ In the series Color Landscape (2003–2020), the artist collects and investigates different colors of public space and completes a stripe-patterned painting through industrial paints available in regional supply stores. Her Scream series (2001–2010) collects, appropriates, and transforms popular ready-made images, produced and circulated in contemporary visual culture. Her Drawings (1998–2020) series forms an enormous archive of children’s coloring books in which the artist transforms and transgress the imposed rules of coloring, lining, and shaping. All in all, Park’s paintings and drawings contemplate the material, technical, and cultural conditions of the medium of painting with regard to contemporary social norms and cultural conventions; and in doing so, her works provide us a crucial opportunity to rethink the critical potential of painting as methodology that has been rarely addressed in the history of Korean painting.
