Kejoo Park (B.1956, Daejeon, Korea) lives and works in Frankfurt, Zurich, and New York. She earned a BFA in Painting from Pratt Institute and Cornell University, studied at The Art Students League of New York, and earned an MLA in Landscape Architecture from Harvard University.
As a Korean-American conceptual and multimedia artist, Kejoo Park works with various media, including painting, sculpture, performance, and site-specific installations. Her art explores the complex relationships between humanity and nature, emphasizing the dualism of internal and external existence and the interplay between natural and artificial elements. In her large-scale public art projects, she merges diverse genres such as music, poetry, and philosophy. Developing her unique artistic language, she combines techniques learned from art and architectural studies and expands her artistic practices to express the embodiment of Western and Eastern culture.
As a landscape architect, she has worked with architectural pioneers including Peter Walker, I.M. Pei, and Mario Campi, conducting international competitions and projects worldwide.
