Leo Park

BIOGRAPHY

Leo Park (b.1980) is a Swedish artist based in Stockholm. He received his MFA in 2019 from Konstfack University of Arts, Craft & Design in Stockholm.

Leo Park’s practice is rooted in both art history and pop culture, sourcing motifs and stylistic influences from the past and present. Working in oil, he creates figurative paintings. The figures are usually covered in tattoo-like inscriptions which recall graffiti or even ancient cave paintings. His visual world is inhabited by well-known myths and tropes in which themes such as desire, creation and death are explored. In his work, Leo is rooting himself into the Postdigital age by creating a link between language, humans and our bodies.
