Working in partnership with Lindsey Chan and Jerome Byron of LA-based studio BC, Park has created the antithesis of a stark white dice, as a substitute exploring her expertise for creating restrained environments which can be harmonious with the works she reveals. ‘I needed so as to add softness and curves to what’s in any other case a really clear, hard-edged area,’ she says. In contrast to Francis Gallery in Bathtub, a Georgian townhouse, the Los Angeles gallery includes a concrete shopfront. ‘LA is the sort of place the place you may make something that you really want it to be, proper?’ she jokes. She did so by referencing shapes and kinds synonymous with Korean tradition, such because the curved partition wall constructed on the centre of the gallery that emulates the type of a Korean moon jar, when considered from a chicken’s eye perspective.

Park labored solely with pure supplies, in a color palette she calls ‘nuanced neutrals’, impressed by Korean and Californian hues, including heat and texture. Partitions are painted with Portola’s Lime Wash in an off-white (nothing is optic white or black) and pure linen blinds diffuse the sunshine (deliberately blocking out the busy avenue exterior). She selected the smoked oak flooring from Madera and used solely vintage brass {hardware} for a similar purpose: ‘It should age superbly over time.’ She provides, ‘Though the gallery has simply opened, I needed the area to really feel as if it’s been round for some time, for it to already be imbued with a way of time.’

She additionally made the upholstered cushions for a uncommon two-piece vintage Korean summer season mattress, used individually as two low stools.
