White Cube Paris is hosting a major retrospective of Park Seo-Bo’s 'Ecriture' paintings, covering five decades of the artist’s career. The exhibition notably features the debut of his 'Newspaper Ecritures' in Paris—a series he originally conceived in the city during the late 1970s—presented alongside the final works completed before his death in 2023.
As the founder of the Dansaekhwa movement, Park Seo-Bo is a foundational figure in Korean modernism who bridged Western abstraction with Eastern philosophical traditions. This exhibition serves as a significant posthumous tribute, highlighting his evolution from the post-war 'Art Informel' style to a meditative, calligraphic practice that redefined contemporary Asian art on the global stage.
