PARK, KI CHEOL
A Horticulturist with Plant Essence
Park Ki-cheol, who opens a gardening studio called 'Taste of Plant ', has introduced wild plants in Korea that have been reinterpreted in their original form with specific techniques. He is gradually expanding his own field of activity. The exhibition <TASTE OF PLANT 2>, where you can find out the formative beauty of wild vegetation that you have never been unfamiliar with, will continue until July 23rd.
Horticulturist Park Ki-Cheol looks at plants from a unique perspective. He makes the viewer fall in love with the natural charm of plants, but he also captures images of plants with eternal charm by capturing moments that one cannot take their eyes off.
Horticulturist Park Ki-Cheol is creating his own ‘artist identity' based on the sense and experience of working at an advertising company in the past. He is not an ordinary gardener you can think of. Rather, he is better called a 'creator' who expands the general boundaries of taking care of plants.
Although you did not follow a typical path, the results of your long-term work enable have many chances to have a show at various galleries. How did you get into this field?
You seem to be very sensitive to the seasons. Do you have different ways or attitudes to dealing with plants in different seasons?
In other words, I need to be sure to use appropriate 'soil' suitable for the plant group or to install it in a space with 'light', not in direct sunlight. I also pay attention to 'ventilation and ventilation' from time to time, and supply different 'water' management depending on the plant group, soil used, and exposed environment. And most of all, when dealing with plants, I consider the most important thing is to be indifferent and lazy to lose strength rather than an obsession.
Plants breathe and grow because they are living. How do you plan and design their growth as an expert?
Compared to the past, it is often seen that a plant becomes a work of art in recent years. Sometimes it serves as a centerpiece for an event or is considered a meaningful structure. How do you view this phenomenon?
In addition to soil and land, his field of work with plants crosses classes, types, and studios.
It seems that your work is largely composed of plant installation and education by external request, and photography and writing of plant material.
We are continuously working on the ‘Plant Taste’. What meaning does the artist have in the branding of anthropomorphic plants?
Each time you see a different plant, you are likely to discover your different tastes. Can you explain “the taste of a plant” you recently found out?
The pots containing the plant are also important, and I am curious about your criteria for them.
What results did you get from your long plant work?
When did you start running the class and what do you think is the most important thing?
Park Ki-Cheol, who has a second exhibition after his first exhibition in 2020, is ready to meet people with 《TASTE of PLANT 2》
You put numbers in the exhibition title without a special theme. What does it mean?
What are the expectations of visitors as an artist at this exhibition?
Isn’t it small of the number of works?
Describe the images on the slides.
