PARK KYOUNG MUG
“Power within restraint”
Park Kyoung Mug 박경묵 · 黙巖Hand-Ground Ink on Hanji · Korean Ink Painter
South Korea · UK Exclusive Representation: KOUM Partners, 2026 –
Park Kyoung Mug works exclusively with hand-ground ink on hanji, a practice rooted in the material discipline of the Korean ink tradition. His large-scale works — some exceeding five metres — are drawn from sustained, direct observation of the eastern coastline of Korea, where silence accumulates into form. The result is an art of concentrated stillness: what he calls a comma in the viewer's day.
