White CubeWhite Cube Paris is pleased to present an exhibition of Park Seo‑Bo's signature Ecriture paintings, spanning over 50 years of the artist's influential practice. Marking the first time Park's 'Newspaper Ecritures' have been shown in Paris, the exhibition brings together the earliest iterations of this series, conceived in the late 1970s in the city, alongside the final body of work completed shortly before his passing in 2023. "To my beloved wife. In the house across from the hotel where I am staying, Gauguin or Modigliani once lived. [...] These days the paintings simply refuse to dry, so while waiting for them to do so, I've been picking up copies of Le Monde [...] and experimenting on them [...] using oil pigments and pencil." —Park Seo-Bo, 1977, letter to his wife, during his sojourn in Paris
