Main St., Red Springs, is hosting “Material Integration II,” a solo art exhibition by Ray Im, a Korean-born American lens-based artist and ceramicist.

While examining the relationship between the two mediums, he offers a fresh perspective on the interplay between tradition and modernity in object and installation settings. He utilizes the German Deadpan style in his photography, giving his images a cool, detached, and emotionless quality, an approach that carries over into his interdisciplinary installation sculptures and pottery works.
