PARK CHAE BIOLE & DALLE

At Galatea, the twin sisters present a joint project for the fourth time, following two exhibitions held in Seoul and one in Paris. Featuring around 60 works, the exhibit includes both individually developed pieces and collaborative productions. Although they share a similar field of investigation, shaped by the relationships between painting, space, landscape and small scenes from everyday life, each artist develops her practice through distinct supports.

In many of Park Chae Biole’s works, the image appears on supports that also organize space, such as blinds, bags, or textile surfaces, unfolding painting into both object and environment. Landscapes and fragments of places emerge within these mobile structures, establishing a play between interior and exterior, presence and passage.

In Park Chae Dalle’s practice, painting approaches writing and poetry. The artist produces the very fabrics on which she works, often through knitting, a patient practice built in the rhythm of the making itself. Landscapes, suns, flowers, spirals, figures, or clouds seem to emerge from the fabric. Light and flexible, the works can be rolled, transported, and reorganized, adapting to each space in which they are presented.

When working together, their practices reveal formal affinities that make this collaboration almost natural. The sisters even share the same studio in Paris. Both Biole’s blinds and Dalle’s textiles explore transparency, porosity, and mobility, but it is in their joint production of bojagi that this closeness becomes most evident. Inspired by the Korean tradition of cloth used to wrap domestic objects and gifts, these works seamlessly combine the aesthetic repertoires of both artists into compositions that are intimately connected.
