Sukwon Park (born 1942, South Korea) is a pioneering sculptor whose work has played a central role in shaping the trajectory of Korean contemporary art. A founding member of the influential Korean Avant-Garde Group (AG) active from 1969 to 1975, Park emerged onto the international stage with appearances in major exhibitions including the 5th Paris Biennale (1966), the 10th São Paulo Biennale (1969), and the first-ever Sydney Biennale (1973). His early sculpture Scorched Earth (1968) marked a bold statement in response to the trauma of war and rapid modernization in postwar Korea.

Throughout the 1980s, Park developed his signature Accumulation series, using repetition, segmentation, and layering of natural materials such as stone, wood, and traditional Korean hanji paper. His process often focuses on the inherent texture and form of the materials, creating works that are as meditative as they are physical. Park’s approach departs from traditional sculptural conventions, allowing material transformation and raw form to guide the composition. His works are part of major public collections, including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) and Daegu Art Museum. With over two decades of solo exhibitions and hundreds of group shows worldwide, Park remains a vital voice in Korean abstraction.
