Review:
Eung Ho park has created paintings, sculptures and installations as a way of expressing the artist's experience of time and struggle to grow in his art and life. Thus, when he makes works using some natural objects situated in some conditions such as potato sprouting in the darkness of the sack and a towering three-dimensional grid of chained-together balling bowls which is suspended from the ceiling, they are metaphors for his own journey as an artist and an individual. Helen A. Harrison, art critic, wrote of his work as "his media are already loaded with meanings. Nor do they disguise the nature of their materials. Instead, they adapt found objects, with all their built-in associations, to serve new purposes in terms of both form and content." The artist folder of Eung Ho Park in the AAAC Archives includes 50 slides, invitation cards, a checklist of an group exhibition in the Exit Art in which the artist's works were included and reviews.
