Two Materials
by Ray Im and Jin Namgoong

Kassab Gallery, Hyman Fine Arts Center
May 6 – August 10, 2025
8:30 am – 5:00 pm, Monday-Thursday

Two Materials is a two-person show unveiling the distinctive artistic approaches of two artists, each employing different materials to craft compelling narratives. One artist works with organic clay, while the other ventures into the industrial landscape of metal, yet both demonstrate a striking dedication to repetition in their artistic processes. Through their skilled manipulation of these materials, they creatively communicate profound insights into the human experience, involving themes of identity and presence in physicality.
