My first experience about Sam Park was during my visit to the Samsung Headquarter several years ago. I am a big Monet fan, and Sam's art pieces touched me the similar way. I was glad to hear that Park was visiting a Pleasanton gallery and would hold a private show earlier this year. I decided to collect these two pieces because I view them as the most representative ones in his early period.Meeting him, his agent from Soho, and his wife was a great experience. Like most artist, Sam's work was pure passion, not rational. He talked about how visiting some of the European cities changed his view of seeing things. The Tuscany field, building, the coast of Italy Pennisula, and little town like Annecy, where I visited frequently when I was in Grenoble, and just the street of some no-name city. One of his great work is Amalfi Windows which he just finished. That would be the masterpiece of his current work. He is starting to put people in the recent art pieces. For a artist, once he transforms to certain style, it is not easy to expect him to go back. I shared Sam the two little poem I wrote for those two paintings. We had great talk. Sam invited me to visit him in Hungtington beach. He would like to share with me some works he is working on recently about California. I fell in love with impressionism after my first visit to National Gallery of Arts. Monet was my favorite. Park and Monet have some similarity but some differences. The most significant in style was that in certain period, Monet was more interested in the painted surface itself than the spntaneous effect of light and atomosphere. Park actually started his art piece with light color, to bring up the light effect. In Amalfi Twilight, with the dimmer, you would get the feeling of the whole town get darkened, then the street lights, the house lights started to stand out, showing the tranquil early evening. The red flowers in the "Tascany Poppies" is one of his best demonstration of his hyper-realism touch. Great works by Sam!
