Short Bio

Mina Kim is a Korean-born, New York–based multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, painting, and installation. Using hand-twisted wire, shadow, and repetitive mark-making, she explores labor, memory, vulnerability, and resilience through the relationship between object and image. Kim received her BFA and MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York and previously studied Metal Art & Design at Hongik University in Seoul. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across the United States.

Practice

My practice combines sculpture, painting, and installation through wire, shadow, and repetitive handwork. I explore how line, labor, memory, and transformation move between physical form and image.

Statement

My work moves between sculpture, painting, and drawing through repetition, shadow, and line. Using hand-twisted wire and marks on raw linen, I explore how labor, memory, fragility, and resilience become embedded in material. Shadows shift with light and distance, while painted traces remain, creating a dialogue between what is temporary and what endures.
