Butterflies are free



I did poster for play called "butterflies are free". The play is written by Leonard Gershe, it is also filmed in 1972 by director Milton Katselas, in 1986, a musical was also made.

Synopsis :
The story is set in the San Francisco of 1970's. All Don Baker wants is a place of his own away from his over-protective mother. Don's been blind since birth, but that doesn't stop him from setting up in an apartment and making the acquaintance of his off-the-wall, liberated, actress neighbor Jill. Jill has never met a blind man before, so she asks all sorts of question about how Don manages everyday chores. Don starts to fall in love with Jill, but Jill is moving in with Ralph who is director of a play in which she'll be acting...

"I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free. Mankind will surely not deny to Harold Skimpole what it concedes to the butterflies." By - Mark Twain


Episode :
I don't know why but thought the background of the story was New York. So I drew high buildings image including empire state building. Oooops! It was my mistake, I have to fix it.. yes, to study and accustom to the story is basic but crucial before making a picture!

I've played with type a lot but It still not quietly work for this piece. I need to study type !

Virginia Asian Chamber of Commerce Business China meeting.









I got phone call from Ms. Mylan Tran who is a senior coordinator of Virginia Asian Chamber of Commerce(VACC). She was impressed by my exhibition, asked me to paint for VACC gala show on December in Jefferson Hotel. Also she invited me to its business china forum, I met lots of business people including Jim Cheng who is Virginia Secretary of Trade and Commerce. I did quick life drawing during the forum, which I've been tried and will try to focus on since I want to catch a moment as a journal of daily events. It was definitely unexpected phone call, I thank you Lord to show me another opportunity.

MY FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION



I will have my first solo exhibition this coming Friday.
I gently invite you to come and enjoy my arts :)



.WHO.
SUNGKYUNG PARK

HER FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION

{ OPENES } FRIDAY . MARCH 5th . 7 - 9 pm
On Exhibit : March 5th through March 31st

.WHERE.
DOOLEY HALL . RICHMOND PUBLIC LIBRARY

.

Sungkyung Park was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea and during high school she found her love of art in the clay animation club. Afterward, she attended college in South Korea and pursued a major in advertisement. She then decided to switch gears and pursue her artistic talent in America. Currently she is a senior at Virginia Commonwealth University in the Communication Arts Department.

She mainly focuses on life drawing, capturing the overlooked beauty of her everyday surroundings. As a foreigner, especially she found the American scene unconventional yet inspiring. The architecture of Richmond was what drew her and she sank into drawing whatever she saw around her. Her line is fluid and direct in capturing her subjects. Her color is subtle, soft, and accents the delicate contour shapes of each page.

She had a group exhibition in The Anderson Gallery in the spring of 2008, and Art6 gallery in the summer of 2009. She has received a scholarship from the Communication Arts Department and an award from The Society of Illustrators for her fascinating drawings. These days she spends most of her time in the Honors Studio and with an internship in Communication Design Inc.


THANK YOU :)
