Jino Park studied painting at Hongik University in Seoul, Korea, performance art at Ecole Nationale Superieur d'Art Paris - Cergy, and video at Ecole National Superieur des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Today, he lives and works in Pennsylvania in the United States.
Jino's work is an experimentation in making a multi-layered narrative structure.
The depiction of the dream -- a ideal model of the multi-layered narrative structure -- has been a primary focus of his. Jino continuously records his own dreams, and then depicts them through many different mediums: video, performance, installation, painting, drawing, sculpture and photo.
In "The Daedalus Trilogy" (2008), he portrayed myths as assemblages of dreams. He rebuilt the stories of Dedalus by incorporating his own dreams, where the ultimate purpose of each was to show the possibility of drawing as a narrative medium.
Recently, with the "Bodhidharma Series"(2009), he continues develop the idea of the multi-layered narrative structure. He has also experimented with drawing as meditational performance. In this series, he deals with the opposing themes of "beauty and ugliness", "brightness and darkness", and "birth and death".
