Ecriture No. 010810 belongs to Park Seo-Bo’s hallmark Ecriture series, which he first began developing in 1967. Ecriture began as a series of monochromes in which Park covered his canvas with a single color and manipulated the still-wet surface with repetitive, carving gestures—actions that resemble the writing of a script. While in earlier works he used a pencil or stylus to create these repetitive marks, beginning in the 1980s he introduced hanji paper into the series, layering and scraping the pulp on the wet surface to create a unique sequence of sculptural lines that seem to float on top of the canvas. The resulting relief paintings stimulate the viewer’s proprioception, an optic experience art historian Alexandra Munroe has characterized as “ecstatic minimalism.”
