Jenna Kim & Wol-Un<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

A clay and ink show.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Opening Reception: Thursday, September 4 | 5\u20138 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gallery 626 is proud to present Light and Shadows<\/em>, an exhibition highlighting the tranquil and subtle beauty of clay and ink works by Jenna Kim and Wol-Un. Through their distinct yet connected practices, both artists embrace the simplicity of form while revealing the complexity and depth of their material-based approach. The exhibition features traditional ink paintings, moon jars, light installations, and a variety of vessels that together invite viewers into a meditative dialogue with rhythm, time, and matter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Working through wheel-throwing and ink painting, Kim and Wol-Un employ fragile and intimate methodologies in which breath, rhythm, air, and time all shape the outcome of a work. Their practices investigate the delicate correlations between material and rhythm, revealing how each carries an ephemeral yet enduring presence within the creative process.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We invite you to join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 4, from 5\u20138 PM<\/strong>, where the artists\u2019 works will be unveiled to the public.<\/p>\n

My work is centered on the luxurious texture and light-transmitting qualities of Polar Ice Clay. The shifting light of the sea, the rhythm of waves, and the subtle traces of time guide my hands as I work with clay, expressed in forms such as moon jars and perforated lanterns.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My signature combines the characters for \u201cwater\u201d (\u6c34) and \u201cmoon\u201d (\u6708), reflecting the transformation clay undergoes through water and fire to take new form. I hope viewers can pause, breathe, and experience a sense of stillness\u2014like gazing at the sea under the light of the moon.<\/p>\n
