Park Sonho
Park Sonho was Born in 1972 in a family of educators (Yanji, China) surrounded by Russian and Korean culture. In the second year of elementary school, an art teacher suspected him that the homework which he submitted was “vicarious work”. What he drew another identical work on the spot, made surprise his teacher.
In 1995, he graduated from Jilin Academy of Fine Arts (Changchun, China) with a first-class honors degree in the Faculty of Fine Arts, and came to Japan in 1996.
With the idea that “I want to jump out of my atelier and experience more things I can only do when I’m young. Painting can be done even after I grow old.”, he had been stopped his producing work temporarily, and jumped into the stage art scene of TV. After that, he developed activities such as design, photography and art direction in the web industry and in the field of advertising.
In recent years, besides he involves in art-related social activities such as planning and holding “Children’s Drawing Workshop” and “Lectures on Art Enlightenment”, the launch of GALLERY 2511 has led to the planning of many exhibitions. In addition, while studying Chinese markings and calligraphy which I had been interested in since he was a student, he is searching again for ways to express works and art management.
