Look, look. Anna Park
Look, look, Anna Park is Anna Park’s first monograph, titled after the artist’s first museum exhibition curated by Rachel Ciesla at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
A major new figure in contemporary drawing, Park has swiftly gained recognition for her richly detailed charcoal and ink works on paper that teeter between figuration and expressive abstraction. Taking inspiration from popular culture, communal experiences, and more intimate interpersonal exchanges, Park’s darkly humorous drawings make visible the ongoing societal pressure to conform to beauty norms that reach across race, gender, sexuality, and class.
Featuring 15 of her newly exhibited works, a curatorial essay by Rachel Ciesla, and a studio "behind the scenes" section, this publication allows readers to gain an in-depth "Look" into Anna Park as a visual artist and her world.
