Bio
Da Aie Park is a Korean-born artist based in Los Angeles. Emerging from minimalist painting, her practice has expanded to include Hanji, traditional Korean paper, and sculptural forms.
Her work explores the relationship between liquid pigment and surface, focusing on materiality, bodily gesture, and processes that unfold over time. Working with water-based pigments on hanji and wooden panels, she engages the tension between absorption and resistance, allowing forms to emerge through seepage, accumulation, and chance.
In her recent work, Park considers the notion of a “1 cm gap,” a minimal yet persistent interval that informs both her material approach and spatial compositions.
Park has presented more than a dozen solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions across the United States, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Italy, Germany, and England. She has also curated projects including Diaspora: Arirang (2021), Our River: City Flood Plain (2023), Our River: Flood Plain & Future (2025), and Hanji: The Texture of Tradition and Innovation (2026).
