Luke Park creates a new beauty through the aesthetics of imperfection and minimal expression on an empty canvas. The artist, who majored in Business at Hongik University and received a master's degree in Arts and Cultural Management from the graduate institution, is claimed to have been interested in traditional Japanese culture for a long time. In particular, the Japanese dry garden culture, known as Zen Garden, influenced his current style of painting. Instead of incorporating incidental components in his works, he attempts to convey the meaning solely through the flow of brushstrokes. Exploring the true nature of life, the artist reveals via his works the necessary approach to life in our materialistic society. 

“Forest” is one of a series of paintings titled <Seasons>, that portray the moment when things collide and break into their raw, unrefined form. The artist visualizes our lives and feelings on the canvas using line and color, excluding other media and expressive techniques in an attempt to capture something with the flow of the brush alone. The connection between the fragments that resemble scars and the process of struggle and triumph in our life conveys that the journey is beautiful in and of itself. He hopes that the audience would experience the beauty of emptying themselves of their own demands, difficulties, hurts, and sorrows and filling themselves with something new.
