Park Seo-Bo is a seminal figure in Korean contemporary art and one of the founding members of the Dansaekhwa monochrome movement, a synthesis between traditional Korean spirit and Western abstraction, which emerged in the early 1970s in postwar Korea. In Park Seo-Bo’s paintings, process and discipline prevail—a departure from the artist’s early aesthetics, which were inspired by art informel. However, by the mid-1960s, the artist had rejected the Western approach and started devoting himself to learning oriental philosophy. His works are in several important collections, including the DIA Art Foundation in the United States; the Guggenheim Museums in New York and Abu Dha- bi; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Art Institute of Chicago; and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC.
