This exhibition brings together two artists whose distinct traditions converge in an inquiry into
perception, material, and being. Korean born artist Da Aie Park and English painter David
Eddington create a dialogue that holds, rather than resolves, the tensions between gesture and
structure, transience and form.

Park’s paintings on suspended hanji hover between presence and disappearance. Her restrained
palette and atmospheric surfaces draw on meditative Asian brushwork while sustaining a
contemporary clarity — colour as breath, image as arrival. Migration and movement appear not
through depiction but through rhythm, echoing natural and emotional currents.

Eddington’s work, grounded in Western pictorial lineage, combines architectural precision with

the shifting instability of light and mood. Renaissance compositional order meets a Neo-
expressionist refusal of nostalgia, yielding reflections on how matter, atmosphere, and emotion

shape human experience.

The Calm Tempest’s Quest names the paradox central to their exchange: serenity intertwined
with disturbance. Together, the works pose a phenomenological question — how being reveals
itself through flux, and how art traces that revelation without fixing it. They invite contemplation
as an attentive engagement with the instability of our time.

In this shared space, cultural and aesthetic boundaries are not dissolved or reconciled but offered
as sites of reflection. The calm, the tempest, and the quest unfold at once — as acts of seeing,
remembering, and becoming.
