Haejin Park (b. South Korea, 1992) is a painter whose practice expands through watercolor, ink, acrylic, and pastel to chart the movement of interior states across porous, breathing surfaces. Born from an attunement to emotion as a physical event, her works articulate feeling as atmosphere, weather, and tension. Park treats painting as a site of transformation in which memory, humor, and somatic pressure cohere into a shifting visual language. Her compositions emerge from a pace that is closer to thinking than depicting, where color bleeds, line coils, and images appear and dissolve in the same gesture. Across her practice, she draws from Korean familial expressions, childhood idioms, and interpersonal subtexts, using language as mark and mark as language to locate the instability and absurdity of interior life.

Gladwell Projects’ NADA Miami presentation brings together Park’s most significant recent canvas and works on paper, revealing an artist whose formal investigations correspond directly to the complexity of feeling, and who allows emotion to behave like matter. In Let Me Show You the Possibilities, 2024–2025, Park constructs an expansive emotional environment where a sweeping, shell-like form curves across the surface as if sheltering a volatile inner current. Saturated reds, aquamarines, and violets pool and evaporate across the canvas, giving way to filaments of graphite that vibrate like electrical nerve endings. The composition holds a tension between containment and overflow, making the entire image feel like a structure trying to teach itself how to breathe. It is one of Park’s clearest articulations of painting as an instrument of transformation, where the body, the mind, and the weather of emotion collapse into a single atmospheric event.
