Yoonsik Chico Park (b. 1998, Seoul; lives and works in Abu Dhabi) is an artist working across performance, installation, sculpture, and image. His practice examines various tensions of human experience to explore individual agency within society. Framed as direct responses to personal and current affairs, Chico presents site-specific stagings in everyday or liminal spaces which invite viewers to question individual positionalities and dwell with what remains unresolved. Utilizing found object, ritual, and gesture, his works play on scale and boundaries, often bringing silence as a generative framework through which he posits, discovers, and hides meaning.  

Yoonsik’s group exhibitions include Foraged Fictions, Halo Halo Experiment x Bayt Al Mamzar, Dubai, UAE (2025); Bygones, Project Space, NYUAD Art Gallery, Abu Dhabi, UAE (2025); Form 2024, CICA Museum, Gimpo, Republic of Korea (2024); ArtHaus, 526 W 114th St., Agora Digital Network, NYC, USA (2022). His practice-based research and performances have been presented and screened at Performance Studies international (PSi), #29, London, UK (2024); and College Art Association (CAA), 112th Annual Conference, Chicago, USA (2024).

Yoonsik was a recipient of the Salama bint Hamdan Emerging Artist Fellowship (2024), NYU Abu Dhabi’s Post-Graduation Research Fellowship (2023), and holds a BA in Philosophy from NYU Abu Dhabi (2023) where he studied Philosophy & Theater.
