Artist Bio: Ray Im is a Korean-born, American, lens-based artist and ceramicist. Im employs the German Deadpan style in his photography, which delivers his images with a cool and detached characteristic. This method enables him to analyze his subjects objectively, and it also applies to his interdisciplinary installation sculptures. Im received his BFA in Photography from Baylor University and MFA in Ceramics from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He exhibits his work in various locations, including Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, South Korea, and Italy. He recently finished his Artist-in-Residency at Anderson Ranch Art Center, CO, and will start the 2025 Spring Artist-in-Residency at Starworks, NC. Im’s work includes commercial photography commissions for magazines in multiple US states and the UK. He is currently teaching art classes at Fayetteville State University.
