The artist expressed his longing for expression from longing, immersion, and isolation, which he had agonized for decades since his acting career. Through the exhibition, the audience will be able to see all the energy and infinite possibilities of Park, known as an actor, in the process of being reborn as an artist.

In the exhibition, more than 100 paintings and media art that he has produced over the past decade will be exhibited. In particular, 'The 4th Wall', the exhibition name and the name of the artwork, is used as the artist's studio during the actual exhibition and provides the effect of installation art.
