ARTamental

North Park by Inki Min

Using diluted inks and paints, INKI MIN creates Pollock-esque oblong paintings of swirling abstraction.  The mist from which our galaxy emerged.  In some, bears dressed in outfits from J. Crew appear out of the swirls.  In others, tree branches float to the surface like primordial dreams. INKI received her MFA from Boston’s Museum School.  Before that she studied art in Seoul, South Korea, where she was born and grew up. Her work has been shown at the Dallas Contemporary, at various venues in Boston (including the Rubin Frankel Gallery, Tufts University and the Museum School) and in South Korea.  

WILL JOHNSON, resident of an ancient granary in Kaufman, Texas and former preparator of the Meadows Museum of Art, transfigures found wood objects into brilliant and elusive Green sculptures.  His work is quirky and archetypal, and invariably includes a political message. WILL holds a BFA from the Meadows School of the Arts.  His work has appeared at Brookhaven College, Mountain View College (both of Dallas), the Dallas Contemporary and the Sally Sprout Gallery in Houston.  His sculpture “The Distance” was in the 2005 Art in the Metroplex juried show.
