Sin Park

Sin Park, We Sing Around the Trees, acrylic, oil, pastel on canvas, 180x200cm, 2024

Sin Park is a painter, researcher, and academic based in Glasgow. Her practice explores the shifting space between abstraction and representation, where memory, gesture, and landscape intertwine. Through intuitive mark-making, erasure, and repetition, she builds layered visual languages that reflect on identity, cultural context, fragmentation, transformation, and the fluid nature of belonging. Her work often evokes imagined or remembered terrains, where internal and external worlds are built and rebuilt through rhythm, interruption, and trace.

Born in Seoul, South Korea, Park received a PhD in Fine Art from the Glasgow School of Art, an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, and a BFA in Painting and a BA in Art History from Ewha Womans University.

Her work has been exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh (2024); Reid Gallery, Glasgow (2024); The Briggait, Glasgow (2024); HSBC Space, London (2022–2023); Patricia Fleming Gallery, Glasgow (2021–2022); and Summerhall, Edinburgh (2018), among others. She has received awards including the Carol Rhodes Bursary (2023), Hopper Prize (2019), Flourish Award (2018), and Winsor & Newton Young Artist Award (2016), and has taken part in residencies with Elephant Lab, ARNA, and Summerhouse Düsseldorf.
