Lives and works
in Karlsruhe

Moon Kwan Park is a Korean artist who has spent half his life in Germany, most of it in Karlsruhe, where he also studied. His work raises questions about life—questions that grow rather than diminish. “Augenblicklich” is his current theme in painting: marks made in the here and now lead the viewer into the infinite mystery of perception. ich GANZ du
