Chloe Park (b. 1986) is a Korean American sculptor, predominantly working in the medium of clay. Chloe lives and works in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Chloe Park is best known for her layered, meticulously constructed works that trace the undercurrents of systems of value, sociology, human connection and the interconnected thread of life.
She is extremely invested in the existential quest of unveiling, revealing, and becoming privy to the hidden and unspoken, behind the scenes resource extraction, displacement, circulation, and movement of events that create the structures that determine the environments in which we live.
As the world presents itself to us very partial and fragmented way at times, she is committed to the practice of revealing the reality of wholeness, beyond the fantasy and that which we may not see.
An innate interest in challenging authority and social norms, an inner montage of self realization can be seen in the webbing of her work - both the hegemonic confines that uphold society and the characteristics or traits that are more rooted in survival and compulsory by nature in the subconscious mind.
A consistent undertow of what is not being said, as much as it is being said, a sustained effort and play between presence and absence surrogates the thought to serve as sculptural and physical forms.
The honest desire for curiosity serves as a giant act of will and revelation in the journey of the Self. The quality of her motivation comes from finding structure in concept with the pleasure of ideas returning, refining, reappearing, and manifesting itself as themes in varied representation.
Chloe’s work has been featured in Vogue US, Vanity Fair UK, House & Garden and The World of Interiors. She has exhibited at Salone del Mobile in Milan and has spent time as A.I.R at La Meridiana in Tuscany. Chloe has spent 10+ years in the Fashion and Entertainment Industry as an Art Director/Set Designer/Brand Strategist. She is classically trained in Ikebana Ikenobo, Kyoto, Japan, with the essence of moribana infused in her practice. She is a 20+ year practitioner of Ashtanga, TM and Amazonian tradition that serve as a foundation to her life and work.
